I just read an interesting product announcement:
"The RF-5151DE digital encryption option is designed for all
RF-5000 FALCOM Series HF-SSB radio systems. The module provides
an embedded voice-data encryption system which can be programmed
with up to six of 1 X 10^52 key codes. The encryption algorithm
is driven by a pseudo-random key generator possessing a key
stream length requiring millions of years for recursion. [Harris
RF Communications Group, Rochester, NY, (716) 244-5830.]
This was in one of those military hardware magazines. Does this
sound like a piece of military gear? Is this key length adequate
for that? If it were approved for the protection of classified
information, which was never mentioned one way or the other,
would a detail like the key length be allowed to be disclosed
publicly?
