KOV-14

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The KOV-14 Fortezza Plus is a PC card from the National Security Agency , which provides cryptographic functions and a memory for cryptographic keys for the secure terminal equipment and other devices. It is a module based on a Mykotronex Krypton chip that is protected against external access, including all cryptographic functions of the original Fortezza card plus the type 1 algorithms and protocols BATON and Firefly , the Secure Data Network System (SDNS) signature algorithm and the STU III protocol. It was developed by Mykotronx as part of the NSA's MISSI program. From 2008, the KOV-14 was discontinued and replaced by the downward-compatible KSV-21 card.
