There are secure fax machines that utilise encryption, require ISDN and used by UK government since the 90's (unsure if still used but probable).



Presumably one of each are needed at both ends?

How is the encryption done? Password?

I've never heard about anything like this; fax machines have always been the POTS analog kind over in Australia.


Used ISDN and had the fax machine plugged into the encryption box and that into the ISDN wall socket.

Though no reason why such an approach could be utilised for pots based FAX machines.

As for the encryption - was pre-shared key type affair and unable to elaborate further.
