Key Features
High Security
The EID feature provides data encryption services and utilizes Advance Encryption Standard (AES-GCM) algorithm. Ensuring that data remains encrypted as it is transmitted from the system to subscriber radios and vice versa.
Secure Transfer of Encrypted Data
Once the feature is enabled and appropriately configured radio users will have the ability to
send, or receive authenticated and encrypted data.
Secure Configuration Update
Users have the flexibility of configuring encryption keys by either using the Key Variable Loader (KVL) to load keys manually or a Key Management Facility (KMF) to encrypt keys centrally. Subscriber radio configuration is done using the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
Receive Clear Data
As an option selected by users in CPS, radio users will have the ability to still receive clear Broadcast Data as well as data from internal and/or external applications.
Full Communication Control
When EID is enabled, radio voice calls will always take priority over data encryption services as
the system is capable of blocking data if a voice user is active. As an option, radios users can
ignore received voice calls while data encryption is in progress.
Wireless Data Encryption Supported
• Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers
• Text Messaging Services (TMS)
• Programming Over Project 25 (POP25)
• Automatic Registration Services (ARS)
• Terminal Data
Available Products
The EID feature is supported on all ASTRO® 25 XTL/XTS and APX subscriber radio models.
Subscriber Options and Software Required
To take advantage of the EID feature, subscriber radios must have IV&D Data capability (Q947 / W947), and (UCM Q159) packet data options.
The following are required:
• The KVL software R03.52.45 or later to load keys manually, and the KMF R03.09.20 or later to encrypt keys centrally.
• The UCM R05.07.10 or later, and the CPS version R14.00.00 or later for XTL/XTS radios.
• The MACE version R01.02.00 or later, and the CPS R4.00.00 for APX radios.
• If existing radios does not have (AES-GCM), then purchase AES refresh.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Encrypted Integrated Data (EID) feature is NOT compatible with ASTRO® 25 systems using
the Transit 25 feature and CANNOT be used to encrypt Broadcast Data or High Performance Data (HPD)
features.
