Bulk encryption devices
In the 1980s, when computers were beginning to emerge in civil companies as well as in military environments, it became increasingly necessary for wireless and wired links, to carry not only the data of a single computer, but complete bundles from multiple devices simultaneously, often including speech and facsimile (fax) data. Such devices are commonly known as bulk encryptors.

IP Encryptors
In the late 1990s and early 2000s, IP-based computer networks started taking over the role of proprietary data networks and digital telegraphy (telex) in civil corporations as well as in the military domain. It allows two computer networks to be interconnected securely, using insecure (public) infrastructure as the transport medium. This effectively creates a secure tunnel between the two networks. Such a tunnel is also known as a Virtual Private Netword (VPN).

Although it has taken a long time for defence organisations to phase out existing data networks, most of them have now migrated to encrypted IP-based networks.
