XG-100P AES/DES

[redbeard]

How did you assign the key as a Single-Key in RPM1 at the time? Key Admin only creates the AES/DES keys, the Key ID, Key Number etc. for the keyloader to load into the radio. RPM assigns the key as either a Single-Key AES or Single-Key DES key to the systems, channels or talkgroups in the mission plan.

I'm still not following how you were able to create a key in Key-Admin and then assign the key as a Single-Key AES or Single-Key DES key, as per the Single-Key feature, in RPM1, for the XG-100M.

Pondering this more, I think what I did was load single key aes via key admin, then went into the radio's control head menus and selected it as a global encryption key. Because as you said I couldn't assign it with RPM 1 and therefore also didn't assign it to any specific systems either.

So the XG100P does support ARC.4 actually … it was offered by Harris in the feature catalog price listing for unity portable…

RPM just would not let u load ARC4 due to the few software issue bugs which never where addressed and they assumed since it’s not federally complainant ehh to heck with it lol

No Ira, it's not supported in the 100P. No way to load it.

So you both are in agreement then that it can't be loaded. But Ira is also correct as I've also seen it listed in the price list for the 100P. Damn shame they didn't get that fixed in RPM1 or supported the 100P in RPM2. Which is funny as there is at least one file in the RPM2 install directory with 100P in the file name...

With RPM/RPM2 you have the ability to create and load a single DES key (if supported by the radio). Any AES operations need to be done with KeyAdmin or a KVL, even single key.

According to RPM2 single key DES is available on:
XL-185P, XL-200P, XL-185M, XL-200M
XG-15P
XG-25P, XG-75P
XG-75-Pe, XG-25M
XG-75M

And under RPM there are likely a few more options.
