EKMS Tier 2, the Local Management Device (LMD), is composed of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) personal computer (PC) running the Santa Cruz Operation's SCO UNIX operating system, and an NSA KOK-22A Key Processor (KP). The KP is a trusted component of EKMS.
In later phases of EKMS, the random data functionality is included in an NSA key processor (KP). [3] Keys could now be generated by individual commands instead of coming from NSA by courier. A common handheld fill device (the AN/CYZ-10 ) was introduced to replace the plethora of devices used to load keys on the many third generation systems ...
An E-8 crew member entering data using an AN/PYQ-10 before a flight. The AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader (SKL) is a ruggedized, portable, hand-held fill device, for securely receiving, storing, and transferring data between compatible cryptographic and communications equipment.
Sonobuoy processor part of the LAMPS system: Knox-class frigate, Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate, Spruance-class destroyer: AN/SQR-18: Tactical towed array sonar system: Knox-class frigate: AN/SQR-19: Tactical towed array sonar system, part of the AN/SQQ-89 suite: AN/SQR-20: Active and passive Multi-Function Towed Array (MFTA) sonar system ...
The KYK-13 is battery powered and uses the DS-102 protocol for key transfer. Its National Stock Number is 5810-01-026-9618. Even though the KYK-13 was first introduced in 1976 and was supposed to have been made obsolete by the AN/CYZ-10 Data Transfer Device , it is still widely used because of its simplicity and reliability.

The KSD-64[A] Crypto Ignition Key (CIK) is an NSA-developed EEPROM chip packed in a plastic case that looks like a toy key. The model number is due to its storage capacity — 64 kibibits (65,536 bits, or 8 KiB ), enough to store multiple encryption keys .
Implementing cryptography in hardware means that part of the processor is dedicated to the task. This can lead to a large increase in speed. [4] In particular, modern processor architectures that support pipelining can often perform other instructions concurrently with the execution of the encryption instruction. Furthermore, hardware can have ...
The AN/UYK-43 was the standard 32-bit computer of the United States Navy for surface ship and submarine platforms, with the first unit delivered in October, 1984. [1] Some 1,250 units were delivered through to 2000. [2]
