Abstract

A secure voice transmission system is disclosed in which enemy interception problems are overcome by analyzing the speech characteristics of a password from a known operator. Some of the voice characteristics remain in the central computer, while others are stored in the message entry device. If a captured operator is forced to enter the password, the characteristics under such extreme stress will not match those stored within the devices and the capture of the operator will be assumed. Before the start of the mission, the portable device receives a preliminary public key; the first remote message of the mission can thus be sent in the clear, with no chance of the enemy using the information or the device, should the operator be prematurely captured. After the operator has been recognized as being a noncaptive, his device requests permission from the command center to create a crypto keyset; the device keeps the private key and transmits the public key to the command center. In this way, the command center has an opportunity to send the final public key to the device, thus establishing two-way crypto communication.
