The Data Transfer Device (DTD II) is a high security embedded device used to prepare, load and distribute crypto material. DTD II is able to securely store and distribute black and red keys of variable byte lengths.
The large alphanumeric keypad based on 43 keys and display based on 6 x 20 characters make the device user-friendly. Robust housing allows outdoor use, even under hostile environmental conditions.
For key management services concerning generation, preparation, loading and PKI features, please refer to the Cybels Key Management Centre Defence (Cybels KMC Defence) solutions.
The DTD II is secured against the installation of spyware while installing additional applications can extend its functionality.
Thales’ DTD II is used within the Electronic Key Management System (EKMS) of the German Armed Forces as well as NATO and several other European programs.
