Fax is a technology that is widely used for sending printed document across long distance. However, fax data is transmitted through the public telephone network and thus making it available to unwanted parties. Secure fax is a device specifically designed to address this issue by securing fax data through the use of cryptograhy. It works by receiving fax from the sender's fax machine, encrypting the fax data, and transmitting the encrypted fax through the telephone network. At the receiver side, an identical system would then receive the encrypted data, decrypt it, and send it to the receiver's fax machine. Secure fax is developed as an embedded system running on a Single Board Computer, using eCos as the operating system. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was chosen as the cryptographic algorithm used to secure transmitted fax data. The development process consisted of several stages: configuring and building eCos based on the application requirements, designing and implementing the embedded application software in C programming language, and testing the system.
