Overview of Key
Porting Feature
1-2
Introduction
The KVL 3000 (when equipped with both X795
and U239 options) is capable of storing keys in
both ASN and ASTRO 25 formats. The key
porting" feature allows you to copy an ASN
traffic or shadow key from its ASN memory
location (stored to a PID and containing a LID)
and load it into an empty ASTRO 25 TEK or KEK
memory location (stored to a CKR and
containing a KID) (and vice versa).
Example of Key Porting
The illustration on the facing page shows a
typical example of porting an ASN key to an
ASTRO 25 memory location.
When To Use The Key Porting Feature
The two most common scenarios for using the
key porting feature are:
D Copying keys between ASN and
ASTRO 25 in the KVL memory
may be occasions when you have an
existing key in an ASN memory location and
wish to duplicate it for use on an ASTRO 25
target. By porting" the key from ASN
memory to ASTRO 25 memory within the
KVL 3000, you save the effort of recreating
the key in the ASTRO 25 memory and
re entering the encryption key data. (You
may also port keys from ASTRO 25 memory
and load them into ASN memory.)
D Copying keys between a KMC and a
KMF You can use the KVL 3000 as a
transfer device" to copy keys from a
KMC (in ASN format) and load them into
a KMF (in ASTRO 25 format). (You may
also copy keys from a KMF and load them
into a KMC.)
