Datakey Electronics is the recognized leader in Crypto Ignition Keys (CIKs). CIKs are rugged portable memory devices that serve as a primary way to restrict access to and de-classify equipment, such as inline network encryptors (data-in-transit) and encrypted hard drives (data-at-rest). Historically, CIKs have been used with Type 1 products certified by the National Security Agency (NSA), but have more recently been finding application in other devices utilizing Suite B cryptography.
