← TST Data
Modem with built-in encryption
TST-5500 was a range of telephone modems with a built-in
data encryptor,
developed during the 1990s by Tele Security Timmann
in Tutzing (Germany). The device is suitable for the encryption and
decryption of computer data at speeds between 1200 and 28.800 baud.
A simplified version of the unit — without the internal modem — was known
as TST-5573.

Cipher unit for computer data
- wanted item
The TST-5573 was a simplfied version of the TST-5500. It did not contain
a modem, so that no approval from the national PTT was required.
Instead the unit was inserted between the serial RS-232 line of the
computer (COM-port) and the existing modem. The case was nearly identical
to that of the TST-5500, but had no LCD display at the front.

The TST-5573 was available in two variants: in a ruggedized
military-grade aluminium housing, such as the one shown in the image
on the right, and in a plastic enclosure similar to a regular modem
(shown in the iamge below).

This is the plastic case variant of the TST-7753, which is also
known as Option 5573-8 [3]. The same case was later used
with the TST-5575, a high-speed version of the TST-5573.
