Universal V2 Protocol

Universal V2 Protocol

The Universal V2 protocol, UNVv2, is a proprietary protocol that securely and efficiently transports data across data networks. UNVv2 was the only supported protocol in Universal Agent (formerly Universal Products) prior to version 3 and will be available in future versions.

UNVv2 addresses data privacy and integrity. It does not address peer authentication.

Data Privacy and Integrity

Data privacy is insured with data encryption algorithms. UNVv2 utilizes 128-bit RC4 encryption for all data encryption.

Data integrity is insured with message digest algorithms. UNVv2 utilizes 128-bit MD5 MACs for data integrity. UNVv2 referred to data integrity as data authentication.

Encryption and integrity may be enabled and disabled on an individual bases.

Encryption keys are generated using a proprietary key agreement algorithm. A new key is created for each and every network session.
