The KIK-20 Secure DTD2000 System (SDS) is a key fill device developed by Sypris Electronics, Florida, US, under the auspices of the U.S. National Security Agency. It, along with the AN/PYQ-10, is intended to eventually replace the AN/CYZ-10 key fill device, along with older units still in service, and can support a wide variety of cryptographic devices and key types.
The SDS is roughly the same size as the CYZ-10 — 7.4" (188mm) x 4.25" (108) x 1.8" (46mm) — and weighs less than 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg). It uses an XScale processor running at 300 MHz under the Microsoft Windows CE operating system. Cryptographic functions are performed by an internal KOV-21 crypto PC Card. The SDS includes 64 MB of RAM, 32 MB of flash read-only memory, a QWERTY keyboard, half-VGA color display, and a USB port. It also has a 6-pin connector for cabling to NSA standard fill connectors. The keyboard includes two zeroize buttons. It costs US$3700 each.

Famous quotes containing the words secure and/or system:
“One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Fear, coercion, punishment, are the masculine remedies for moral weakness, but statistics show their failure for centuries. Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? Everything in our present system tends to lower the physical vitality, the self-respect, the moral tone, and to harden instead of reforming the criminal.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
