An intelligent electronic cryptographic module comprising a processor in
communication with data storage, a cryptography chip for encrypting and
decrypting messages and responses, at least one server-side port for
receiving and transmitting encrypted and non-encrypted messages and
responses between the intelligent electronic cryptographic module and an
enterprise server, and at least one non-encrypted port for receiving and
transmitting decrypted and non-encrypted messages and responses between
the intelligent electronic cryptographic module and at least one
intelligent electronic device. The data storage comprises computer
instructions for instructing the processor to select a protocol module
and telemetry method, authenticate the enterprise server and intelligent
electronic cryptographic module, encrypt and decrypt messages and
responses using the cryptography chip, and transmit and receive messages
and responses.
