1. GENERAL
This manual is intended to aid trained technicians to install the
HC-250 Voice Ciphering System.
1.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT (Ref. Figs. 1.1 and 1.2)
The CRYPTOCOM® HC-250 is a high security voice ciphering system
designed for operation over switched telephone networks, fixed
and mobile UHF/VHF and HF-SSB radio links. The HC-250 uses sophisti
cated ciphering techniques and advanced technology, eliminating re
sidual intelligibility on the line and giving excellent speaker re
cognition, yet providing a high level of security.
The complete system consists of a basic unit and a remote control
unit, which are connected to a telephone or radio. All operating
procedures are carried out via the remote control unit, thus allowing
the basic unit to be located conveniently. A version is also available
as a self-contained cipher terminal, housed in an attractive Samsonite
briefcase. This version is referred to in these instructions as the
"portable version".
An integrated key management system, providing a customer specific
parameter, a structure key, communication keys, user identification
codes and a key-input identification code, allows adaption to user
requirements. The system can either be programmed for simple opera
tion, where the only operator intervention required is the switching
between plain and cipher, or a more complex hierarchy can be estab
lished, to protect against unauthorized use. In normal telephone
operations it is possible to use a telephone for the plain/ cipher
switching.
The system also includes built-in self-test features (BITE), which
facilitate the detection of failures and faults.
The CRYPTOCOM®HC-250 is designed to operate, in duplex or half-
duplex mode, via practically any voice grade circuit, such as:
HAGEUN-CRYPTOS
3B866 CRYPTO AG 1 -2
Switched public telephone networks
Fixed or mobile VHF/UHF radio communication systems for military
governmental and civilian (VIP) applications.
HF/SSB long distance radio communications for strategic links,
embassy communication networks, etc.
The system is designed to meet all the requirements for universal
voice ciphering equipment, including:
Good quality, intelligibility and speaker recognition of the
ciphered voice signal
Ease of operation without restriction of the equipment's
versatility
Complete freedom from residual intelligibility of the ciphered
signal, giving very high level security
High immunity from transmission disturbances, such as linear and
non-linear distortions, fading, noise, etc.
Fully automatic operation, i.e. synchronization, key check,
tracking, etc.
1.2. PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION (Ref. Fig. 1.3)
The heart of the HC-250 Duplex Voice Cipher System is a micro
processor, which
Controls all operations
Calculates the key stream generator, the permutation, etc.
Generates a message key and performs a key check in both sets
of equipment during the initialization phase
Permits an interactive dialogue with the operator through the
remote control unit for mode and key selection, user identifi
cation code, test routines, etc.

HAGEUN-CRYPTOS

The HC-250 employs a fully automatic, initial loop synchronization
with additional tracking. It consists of time frame and key stream
synchronization using an automatically generated message key which
sets the key generator at the receiving side accordingly. During
this initialization phase a check is also performed to ensure that
both stations are using the same key. This key check is carried out
using the key "signature", which is a derivative of the key itself.
The initialization procedure is automatically carried out for the
return path. In multi-point communications with push-to-talk opera
tions the initialization procedure is repeated before each trans
mission phase and no key check is carried out.
The voice signals from the microphone (350 - 3000 Hz) are first
matched for level and impedances in the audio interface board and
are then passed to the analog signal processing board. The resulting
s i g n a l s a r e t h e n c o n v e r t e d i n t o d i g i t a l f o r m , f o r f u r t h e r p r o c e s s i n g
in the CPU, where the signals are divided into time segments of
different lengths. These slots are then permutated according to the
- k e y s t r e a m g e n e r a t o r s i g n a l s . T h e s e g m e n t a t i o n y i e l d s a v a r i e t y o f
1.3 x 10 and the permutation of 4.8 x 10 . After permutation the seg
ments are transmitted with a certain time compression which allows the
introduction of tracking information in order to maintain synchronism.
At the receiving end the ciphered information is processed and con
verted back into plain audio signals and interfaced to the earpiece.
The HC-250 may be adapted to any kind of audio equipment by adaption
of the audio interface board.
1.3. KEY HIERARCHY
The key stream generated depends on four different keys:
Customer-specific parameters
Structure key (SK)
Communication key (CK)
Message key (MK)
HAGEUN-CRYPTOS
3B866 CRYPTO AG 1 -4
The customer-specific parameters provide a diversity of 10 and are
programmed and stored in a Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM). These
parameters influence the structure of the key stream and are individu
ally programmed for the customer by CRYPTO AG.
The structure key is a secret hardware key, stored in an Eraseable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EPROM). It has a diversity of 10308
and is the same in every unit of a specific communication network. As
the name indicates, the SK has a decisive influence on the structure
of the key stream, as well as having a role in the initialization
procedure. The user can generate his own structure key at any time
by means of a suitable EPROM programming unit.
The communication key is the secret software key. It provides diversity
in the sense that every new communication key, together with the
structure key, defines a new key stream. The communication key may be
entered and changed by the security officer. It consists of 32 decimal
32
digits providing a diversity of 10 (for each key). The HC-250 is
capable of storing 8 independent communication keys (CK) allowing the
formation of a key hierarchy.
The message key is the synchronization key which, together with the
SK and CK, defines the starting point of the key-stream generator.
Hence, the starting point is different with every new initialization,
This start address is also sent to the receiving unit.
In addition to these four keys, the key hierarchy is extended by
the use of two indentification codes
The user identification code (UIC)
The key input identification code (YIPIC).
The user identification code provides protection against unauthorized
use by transforming the communication key before it is stored in the
CK memory. This code may consist of up to 8 digits. A transformed key
can only be used for ciphered conversation if it is first correctly
retransformed.
The key input identification code restricts the input of communication
keys to authorized persons. The key input identification code is pro
grammed in an EPROM and consists of up to 8 digits.

1.4. MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION
The HC-250 system consists of two separate units: the basic unit and
the remote control unit.
1.4.1. REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
The remote control unit is constructed in such a way that it may be
placed on a desk or, by means of an additional mounting kit, mounted
in a vehicle within easy reach of the operator or driver. The unit
contains a keyboard, an eight-position display and a mechanical
security lock. This unit also houses the electonics required for the
remote control functions.
1.4.2. BASIC UNIT (Ref. Fig. 1.4)
The basic unit is a modular design allowing access to the printed
circuit boards (pcbs) as shown in Fig. 1.4. The system connector is
located on the front panel of this unit. The front and rear panels
are each fixed to the main housing by 4 screws. Access to the pcbs
is gained by removing the screws retaining the rear panel. Access
to the AC module is obtained by removing the screws retaining the
front panel.
1.4.3. PORTABLE VERSION (Ref. Fig. 1.2)
A version of the HC-250 system is also available as a self-contained
cipher terminal. In this version the remote control and basic units
are housed in an attache case together with an integral telephone.
Operation is carried out using the keyboard, which is accessible
when the attache case is opened.
