WINDSTER consists of a PC board containing several custom
LSIs ( Large scale Integrations) and discrete devices. This
module incorporates the SAVILLE I and PADSTONE algorithms to
provide security for classified traffic. It also contains the
CORDOBA algorithm which provides security for sensitive
unclassified traffic. The CORDOBA provides interoperability with
many inventory SAVILLE-based equipment. WINDSTER is a 500 Kbps
full/half duplex embeddable COMSEC module used to secure digital
voice or data traffic. It provides cryptographic interoperable
traffic operation with KY-57/58, E-DRZ, KYV-2, KYV-5, KG-84,
RAILMAN, INDICTOR, and STU-III. It also provides re-key
operations interoperable with the KY-57/58, KYV-5, INDICTOR, and
RAILMAN equipment.
This embeddable module may be used with various voice/data
equipment such as mobile or desk top telephones, modems, or
man-pack radios. It is approved for use at all classification
levels. The authorized vendor is Harris, RF Communications. The
approximate cost is $2700 each for quantities of 1 to 249 and
$1600 each for quantities over 250.
