$1,125.00
The USB-C to DS-101/DS-102/RS-232 Protocol Adapter is an innovative solution that allows virtually any USB host to transmit or receive key material, mission data, and time-of-day information using EKMS protocols and waveforms representative of the SKL. This version includes a male 6-pin fill port connector.
Trusted across the industry, this adapter is used by most end cryptographic manufacturers, making it a proven choice for mission and key management workflows.
Designed for flexibility and rugged use, the adapter supports both Windows 10/11 and Linux environments. It provides multiple options for software integration, including APIs accessible via COM port or Libusb, along with a C# library for developers. Windows applications for filling and receiving are included. Linux DS-101 software library support is not supplied at this time, but Linux Ubuntu key fill software is currently in development.
