BSI for information
security up to the levels of SECRET and SECRET UE.
On 2 February 2015 it was announced that SINA L3 Box H had been
approved for use by NATO for its NATO SECRET security level [3].
According to the company brochure, ~ 100,000 SINA-based solutions
had been installed in over 30 countries by January 2017 [2].

to some of the SINA products.
RedFox was developed around 2005
especially for the Dutch Government and makes the SINA products suitable
for all
security levels of the Dutch Government,
including

smart card reader.

booted from CD-ROM drive, as this is a read-only device of which the data
can not be tampered with.

top and the sides, after which the upper case shell can be removed.

is a standard ATX motherboard with a fast graphics accelerator,
located in the rear right corner.
