Chapter 7 Encryption
This chapter provides procedures for using the encryption capability of your radio. The following
procedures are outlined:
• Loading an encryption key
• Selecting an encryption key
• Erasing an encryption key
7.1 Load an Encryption Key
Keys will be loaded from the KVL to the radio in either clear or encrypted form depending on the
configuration of the CPS parameter "KVL – FIPS Level 3 Approved Mode". If the parameter is
disabled, keys will be sent in clear form; if the parameter is enabled, keys will be sent to the radio in
encrypted form.
NOTE: A KVL3000 Plus with software version R03.52.45 or greater must be used to load keys to a
radio with "KVL – FIPS Level 3 Approved Mode" enabled.
To load an encryption key:
1. Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment connections and setup.
2. Attach the KVL to the radio.
3. Refer to the KVL manual for how to load the encryption keys into the radio.
4. When the key is loaded successfully, you will hear:
• On single-key radios – a short tone.
• On multikey radios – an alternating tone.
The secure kits for APX 3000 are identified by the following kit numbers:
