Cryptographic Engine
KEY BENEFITS The Harris Citadel Cryptographic Engine provides high-grade protection for
>> Military-grade encryption for all modern communications media, enabling users to safely transmit sensitive
non-Type 1 applications information over normal communications channels. Available to both U.S. and
>> Rapid-state swapping international users, it is approved for export with multiple algorithm options­—
>> Three unique algorithm options and it is ideal for a broad range of communications products.
>> Customer configurable Citadel comes complete with three unique algorithm options: a standard Citadel high-grade
>> Field and analytically tested security algorithm, a Harris-configured Citadel algorithm (customer unique), and a customer-configurable
Citadel algorithm. With these three options, users can easily adjust their level of security without
physically modifying their equipment.
Based on a mixed-mode, arithmetic block cipher, all three algorithms support both
communication security and transmission security functions. Plus, each has been proven to
withstand sophisticated cryptographic attacks—both analytically and in the field.
Citadel provides half-duplex encryption and decryption at throughput data rates of up to 5 Mbps.
It processes serial or parallel unencrypted and encrypted data, and includes key management
commands in the IC’s command set to help meet varying user requirements. All interfaces are
3.3V and 5V CMOS compatible.
Delivering military-grade encryption for non-Type 1 applications, the Harris Citadel Cryptographic
Engine ensures your critical communications remain secure.
