Secure DTD 2000 System (SDS)

Course COM106C

Description

The Secure DTD-2000 System (SDS) (KIK-20) is a next generation replacement for the currently fielded AN/CYZ-10 Data Transfer Device (DTD). The KIK-20 provides automated, secure and user friendly methods for managing and distributing cryptographic key Cryptographic keyA numerical value used in cryptographic processes, such as encryption, decryption, signature generation, and signature verification. material, Signal Operating Instructions (SOI), and Electronic Protection data. This course introduces the components of the KIK-20 SDS and provides hands-on training to each participant.

Objectives

  • Use the SDS
  • Identify its purpose, capabilities, security features and associated keys

Target audience

All Government of Canada (GC) departments and their contractors, who handle, distribute, account for, store or use the KIK-20 SDS to store electronic keys.

Prerequisites

Learners must have knowledge of cryptography CryptographyThe study of techniques used to make plain information unreadable, as well as to convert it back to a readable form. and the use of cryptographic keys. Courses CRY101C - Cryptographic security in the GC and/or course COM101C - COMSEC in the GC are highly recommended to provide this background.
