Data encryption unit - this page is a stub

ELCROBIT 3-2, also written as ELCROBIT 3/2 or EB 3-2, is a procedure-independent data en­cryption unit for transmission speeds up to 64 kbit/s (64 kbps), developed in the mid-1980s by Siemens in Germany. The device uses the secret Type 1 SAVILLE encryption algorithm, developed in the late 1960s jointly by GCHQ and NSA. The device has a CCITT X.21/V.25 bis interface, and is very similar to the ELCROBIT 3-1, which features a CCITT V.24/V.10 interface (RS-232).

One known use of the ELCROBIT 3-2 is in combination with the HF-7000 radio set, that was used by Special Forces (SF) and Stay-Behind Organisations (SBO). The image on the right shows a typical Elcrobit device as it was published in the Siemens brochure [A].
