Designed For Layer 1 Transport Networks
The Nokia 1830 Security Management Server (SMS) is a key component of Nokia’s Secure Optical Transport solutions and is specifically designed to safeguard Layer 1 transport networks. Engineered to defend against quantum computing threats and cyber challenges, this server is an ideal solution for organizations demanding robust, high-speed, and secure data transport. It provides a reliable shield against potential security breaches.
Overview of the Nokia 1830 SMS Product Family
The Nokia 1830 Security Management Server (SMS) family offers a range of products designed for robust and secure key management across network environments, including:
1830 SMS
The Nokia 1830 SMS is the foundational model of the series, providing centralized, quantum-safe key management for encrypted services across network infrastructures. It supports high-scale encryption key lifecycle management, including creation, distribution, rotation, and retirement. This model is ideal for networks that must enforce strict security policies across diverse operational landscapes.
1830 SMS netHSM
The netHSM is tailored for network-attached hardware security module (HSM) applications. It offers the same strong security features as the 1830 SMS and is suited for use cases requiring the integration of cryptographic functions directly with network hardware for enhanced security measures.

Each product in the 1830 SMS family is built to integrate seamlessly with Nokia’s optical and microwave transport products, including the Nokia 1830 PSS and 1830 PSI optical platform and the Wavence microwave series. This integration supports comprehensive, end-to-end encrypted communications, ensuring that all data transmitted across the network is secured against contemporary and future cryptographic threats.
Understanding the Nokia 1830 SM
The Nokia 1830 SMS epitomizes the cutting edge in symmetric key management technology, catering to the entire cryptographic lifecycle of encrypted services across expansive network infrastructures. It operates on a highly secure platform, employing a potent processor and security-enhanced operating system to generate quantum-resistant keys from physically derived entropy, offering top-tier encryption capabilities.
Operational Mechanism
At its core, the 1830 SMS integrates flawlessly with Nokia’s suite of transport platforms, such as the 1830 PSS (Photonic Service Switch), 1830 PSI (Photonic Service Interconnect), and the Wavence microwave systems. This seamless integration facilitates the secure transfer of data across critical applications, including Data Center Interconnects (DCI), WAN/LAN interconnects, high-performance computing environments, wavelength services, and Carrier Ethernet services.

Key Features and Advantages
Centralized Key Management
At its core, the 1830 SMS integrates flawlessly with Nokia’s suite of transport platforms, such as the 1830 PSS (Photonic Service Switch), 1830 PSI (Photonic Service Interconnect), and the Wavence microwave systems. This seamless integration facilitates the secure transfer of data across critical applications, including Data Center Interconnects (DCI), WAN/LAN interconnects, high-performance computing environments, wavelength services, and Carrier Ethernet services.
Operational Simplicity
The system facilitates synchronized key rotation and distribution, bolstering security without impacting data flow. This simplicity extends to unified encryption policy management and network security settings, mitigating the complexity traditionally associated with such tasks, and allowing you to manage your network security with ease.
Quantum-Safe Security
By generating quantum-safe keys, the 1830 SMS ensures network protection against current and emerging cryptographic threats, particularly those posed by quantum computing.
Adaptive Security Measures
It allows for flexible access control, which is crucial for partitioning the network into distinct security zones in multi-tenant environments where different security configurations may be required. This flexible access control includes [insert specific features of flexible access control].
Comprehensive Compliance and Certification
Adhering to strict security standards such as Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance, Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS), and certifications from both ANSSI and NIST, the 1830 SMS meets global security regulations and best practices.
