Secure Voice (as I have learned ) systems were "KY-N" where Text/Recdord was "KW-N" and <br />data was KG-N. First text of reference is The Codebreakers.<br />( A typo within is HW-28 which actually is KW-26; due to clerical error AFAIK. I believe KY-3 and KY-9 were similar. Shortly was STU-I. Later was STU-II (which shared an encryption box on time-share basis; built in Nutley NJ USA ) . Later still was STU-III; replaced by STE; vIPer; Omni-N; and Sectera. <br />AT&T's last STU-III was Model 1100 where as Motorola was Sectel 1500/MMT-1500. <br />See CryptoMuseum and also Jerry Proc's Crypto Machines sites. And of course; check back here too. Thank you, PK. Thanks everyone.

(joke within a joke -- old school ) <br />LOL; typical Military Think: "It's what WE dictate/demand (idi0t civilian ). Probably is "military thought" that Red was Hot ( Secured ), where Green is also thought of as <br />"Clean" (or Clear, hint hint ) so <br />if Green, be good--don't talk CLASSIFIED. You've taught me something about the new form-factor; human design engineering. <br />The software probably was developed similar to the STE and vIPer "user interface software" ( my quotes ) .

Thanks for this post news, PK. <br /><br />It is curious they use Red as SECURE, instead of Green; Green being known generally as "safe" . <br /><br />Regarding vocabulary; typically the wording is "non-secure" for communications. Someone did not get the lesson. Telecore used to be Electrospace, Inc., a Chrysler company ( as you have mentioned ). <br /><br />Best wishes. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4559002410879446409.post-11046092601156193812014-07-21T12:54:14.116+02:002014-07-21T12:54:14.116+02:00I couldn't help but noting that L3 use the &qu...I couldn't help but noting that L3 use the "word" unsecure for a phone that is in fact secured to the armrest. While they should use the word insecure even when talking about IT security. <br /><br />http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/19653/insecure-or-unsecure-when-dealing-with-security<br /><br />Most likely just a sales PDF never even scoffed at by the anal geeks at L3 who actually write the systems.

Your articles are very interesting and - quite surprisingly - extremely well researched. Which is something you rarely come across these days. Especially your stuff on the Snowden "revelations" would really deserve more attention. Which is not to say that articles like this one wouldn't, interesting topic. Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
