U-TVB THORNTON CTIC/DS-101 HYBRID (CDH); U-TVA THORNTON CTIC PROG/PROJ ELEMENT: 33401N |
DESCRIPTION/FUNCTION
The U-TVB THORNTON Communications Security/Transmission Security (COMSEC/TRANSEC) Integrated Circuit (CTIC) DS-101 Hybrid (CDH) incorporates the CTIC very large scale integration (VLSI) in a hybrid configuration with DS-101 keying and other support circuitry. Like the CTIC, it supports COMSEC and TRANSEC. CDH is functionally equivalent to the THORNTON modules (notably the KGV-8B and KGV-11B) and to the CTIC, a National Security Agency (NSA) Standard Embeddable Product. The CDH can obtain cryptographic synchronization in one of three operational modes: Mode A, characterized by over-the-air reception of synchronization patterns; Mode B, which is self-synchronizing over-the-air; and Mode C, which requires no over-the-air synchronization. It contains Random Access Memory (RAM) for the internal storage of 64 RED, CSESD-11 keys and also for the storage of 9 DS-101 Key Encryption Keys (KEKs). It can also be keyed over-the-air through the use of a KOK-13 remote rekey device and can perform an automatic key rollover at the end of the cryptoperiod. The CDH package is a 114-lead leaded chip carrier. CDH is a powerful and flexible device that provides all of the benefits of the CTIC as well as the support circuitry necessary for operation. (Note: Depending on the application, the CDH is available in several configurations.)
The CDH is certified to secure TOP SECRET data and below. The CDH is an UNCLASSIFIED controlled cryptographic item (CCI) when unkeyed. When keyed, it carries a classification equal to that of the key that has been loaded. It is intended for embedded applications requiring COMSEC and/or TRANSEC protection, and is being used or considered for use in several time-of-day based Air Force, Army, Navy, and multi-nation systems. The CDH is compatible with the KGV-8/8A/8B/8C, KGV-11/11A/11B/11C, CTIC, KG-66, KGR-66, KGV-68, KI-37, KGV-15, KGV-13, and KG-87.
The U-TVA THORNTON Communications Security/Transmission Security (COMSEC/TRANSEC) Integrated Circuit (CTIC) is a microcircuit that supports COMSEC and TRANSEC. CTIC is functionally equivalent to the THORNTON modules (notably the KGV-8C and KGV-11C). The CTIC can obtain cryptographic synchronization in one of three user-selected modes: Mode A, characterized by over-the-air reception of synchronization patterns; Mode B, which is self-synchronizing over-the-air; and Mode C, which requires no over-the-air-rekey synchronization. It provides internal storage for eight keys and can also access 64 externally stored keys in an user-supplied RAM. It also supports over-the-air-rekeying (OTAR) and can perform automatic key rollover at the end of the cryptoperiod. The CTIC makes use of a CSESD-11 key fill interface and can, with the addition of user-supplied circuitry, accommodate DS-101 key fill. The CTIC package is a 132-lead ceramic leaded chip carrier. CTIC is a powerful and flexible device that supplies security to the host at minimal cost, size and power. (Note: Depending on the application, the CTIC is available in several configurations.)
The CTIC is certified to secure TOP SECRET data and below. The CTIC is an UNCLASSIFIED controlled cryptographic item (CCI) when unkeyed. When keyed, it carries a classification equal to that of the key that has been loaded. It is intended for embedded applications requiring COMSEC and/or TRANSEC protection, and is being used in several time-of-day based Air Force, Army, Navy, and multi-nation systems. The CTIC is currently used on the KGV-26 COMSEC board that is installed in the Multi-Mission Advanced Tactical Terminal (MATT). The CTIC is compatible with the KGV-8/8A/8B/8C, KGV-11/11A/11B/11C, CDH, KG-66, KGR-66, KGV-68, KI-37, KGV-15, KGV-13, and KG-87.
