1.2 Overview of the KVL 4000
The KVL 4000 Key Variable Loader is a portable, handheld, rugged device whose most basic function is to transfer
encryption keys to a target device. Encryption keys can be entered manually by the KVL user, auto-generated by the
KVL, obtained from or shared with another KVL, or downloaded from a Key Management Facility (KMF). Keys
can be transferred to secure mobile and portable radios, infrastructure devices, and system test equipment.

and transferring them to target devices. It also provides internal processing and memory for secure key storage, as
well as interfaces for data communication.
