Secure Modules
8
Introduction The secure modules are designed to digitally encrypt and decrypt voice
and ASTRO data in ASTRO SABER™ radios. This section covers the
following secure modules:
• NTN7770 • NTN1152
• NTN7771 • NTN1153
• NTN7772 • NTN1158
• NTN7773 • NTN1147
• NTN7774 • NTN1367
• NTN7329 • NTN1368
• NTN7332 • NTN1369
• NTN7331 • NTN1370
• NTN3330 • NTN1371
• NTN7370 • NTN8967
• NTN1146
NOTE: The secure modules are NOT serviceable. The
information contained in this chapter is only
meant to help determine whether a problem is due
to a secure module or the radio itself.
The secure module uses a custom encryption integrated circuit (IC)
and an encryption key variable to perform its encode/decode function.
The encryption key variable is loaded into the secure module, via the
radio’s universal (side) connector, from a hand-held, key variable
loader (KVL). The encryption IC corresponds to the particular
encryption algorithm purchased. The encryption algorithms and their
corresponding kit numbers are:
