DESCRIPTION/FUNCTION


The Versa Module Eurocard (VME) Information Systems Security (INFOSEC) Module (VIM) product is the next generation TOP SECRET trunk encryption device (30-day key storage capability), which utilizes the Advanced INFOSEC Microprocessor (AIM) technology expected certification by National Security Agency (NSA) 1QFY99. The VIM product is designed to replace multiple trunk encryption devices (TEDs), is fully programmable, and can be enhanced in the future to allow for the replacement of "end of life" cryptographic algorithms. The VIM can be configured to mix and match 64 standard key generation algorithms simultaneously (e.g., 64 channel combinations of KG-40, 81, 84A/C, 94/A, 112, 135, 194, KGV-8, 11, 13, 23, KIT-1C, HE-57/58, KY-68, KYV-5). VIM is the equivalent cryptography of 64 end cryptographic units (ECUs) in a single VME module, drastically reducing the current mass of racks, power distribution strips, fixed plant adapters, cables, and patch panels. VIM units are UNCLASSIFIED controlled cryptographic items (CCIs) when not keyed and when keyed their classification equals that of the key installed. Full AIM certification is scheduled for completion in September 1998.
