Encryption
Preflight
Included with your Skydio X10D is an encryption key that enables you to encrypt your media in
flight and transfer your media to an external device. You will need to pair that Encryption Key
to your X10D and store it with your vehicle. You can enable and disable the encryption settings
using the Skydio X10D Controller Flight Deck. When the media encryption is enabled, all images
and videos captured by X10D will be encrypted and hidden in the Media Review tab. Pairing an
Encryption Key assigns the key to that X10D. It is essential that you store the Encryption Key
with the X10D. Using a dierent Encryption Key will overwrite the original pairing, erasing the
previously captured media.
Step 1 - Enable your X10D for encryption:
• Power on and pair your Skydio X10D and controller
• Insert the Encryption Key into the rear USB-C port on the X10D
• The Encryption Key lights will begin blinking
• You will receive a notice to remove the Encryption Key
• You only need to provision the system one time
• Skydio X10D media will now be encrypted
You have the option to enable or disable encryption. When Enable Encryption is selected, all
media captured will be encrypted. When Disable Encryption is selected, all media captured will
not be encrypted.
Step 2 - Select the Information menu
• Select the X10D under Paired Devices and select Encryption
• Select Enable Encryption or Disable Encryption
• Encryption settings are persistent across flights and power cycles
