SCK (Air Interface Encryption Class 2)
Static Cipher Key (SCK) is a secret key used for the Air Interface Encryption Class 2. It may be used to
encrypt calls and data in TMO and DMO.
The SCK air interface encryption provides service confidentiality between radios and infrastructure
when in TMO, and between radios when in DMO. A radio is capable of being loaded with up to 32
SCKs. Specific keys are used for encrypting the air interface.
Any mismatch between radios and/or infrastructure impacts communication – only those using the
same key as the transmitting party are able to decode and hear the communication.
