CRYPTO MACHINE MENU PAGE

---

Some of the machines featured here have COMSEC DESIGNATOR which consists of a Function Designator, a Type Designator and optionally, an Assembly Designator followed by an Item Number and /TSEC.

 

FUNCTION: C - COMSEC Equipment G -  General Purpose H - Cryptographic Ancillary K - Cryptographic M - Manufacturing N - Non-cryptographic S - Special purpose

TYPE: G - Key Generation I - Data Transmission L - Literal Conversion N - Signal Conversion O - Multipurpose P - Materials Production S - Special Purpose T - Testing, Checking U - Television W - Teletypewriter X - Facsimile Y - Speech (Cyphony)

ASSEMBLY: A - Advancing B - Base of Cabinet C - Combining D - Drawer or Panel E - Strip or Chassis F - Frame or Rack H - Keyboard I - Translator or Reader J - Speech Processing K - Keying, Permuting L - Repeater M - Memory or Storage O - Observation P - Pwr supply or Converter R - Receiver S - Synchronizing T - Transmitter U - Printer V - Removable comm.        security       component W - Logic Programmer or        Programming X - Special Purpose

TSEC DESIGNATOR

Complete cryptographic devices always have the TSEC in front of the name (ie TSEC/KL-7). Sub-components or assemblies with no actual cryptographic capability always have TSEC following the name ( ie KLK-7/TSEC refers to the rotor basket in the KL-7)

In general:

KW is the prefix for a Teletype encryption device.
KY stands for a voice encryption device.
KG means a  data encryption device

BID DESIGNATOR

BID means 'British Inter Departmental'.  These systems or equipment types were generally used by more than one single governmental agency or department. The authority for BID's are the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG) who are part of GCHQ.  BIS means British Inter-Service.

OTHER

In Europe, TROL (Tapeless, Rotorless, OnLine) equipment was generally given a system name. The Elcro family, though being TROL equipment, was an exception to this rule. It was referred to as ELCROTEL, ELCROVOX and so on.

OTP (One Tine pad) and OTP-like systems exclusively OR (XOR) each text character with the key character, rotor systems scramble the alphabet to generate a separate substitution cipher for each character, and pin-and-lug systems rotate the alphabet to generate a separate transposition cipher for each character.
