Dear Mr. Brady:
VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION/ISFSI NORTH ANNA POWER STATION SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION TRANSMITTAL APPROVAL Serial No.88-602 NO/JDH:vlh Docket Nos.* 50-280 50-281 50-338 50-339 72-2 License Nos. DPR-32 DPR-37 NPF-4 NPF-7 SNM-2501 10 CFR 73.2l(g) (3) requires that except under emergency or
- extraordinary conditions, Safeguards Information shall be transmitted only by protected telecommunications circuits approved by the NRC.
In accordance with this requirement, enclosed is a description of the CYCOMM VEM-1000 voice encryption*
module, which we believe is an acceptable system to meet this requirement.
Your review and approval concerning the acceptability of this unit is requested.
Our intended use of this equipment is to afford protection to conversations between our corporate headquarters and our two nuclear sites that may contain Safeguirds Information.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact us immediately.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 170, an application fee of $150 is enclosed.

e Cycomm's Voice Encryption Module (Cycomm 1000) Equipment TELEPHONE PRODUCT I.
Present System The present VEM-1000 telephone unit is a complete secure telephone system in a single package. It includes the telephone and the secure voice/data unit and simply plugs into an RJ-11 connection.
This unit includes the following features for phone:
o Extremely High Security - on the order of military communications security equipment.
o Excellent Decoded Voice Quality o Digital Audio Memory - Virtually all high security voice systems have a delay associated with them. These -type of systems must "grab" a block of speech and encode it.
High quality units such as the VEM-1000 include a digital audio memory that allows the user to talk normally, and the memory insures that no speech is lost during this delay time.
o Automatic Clear Operation - The present VEM unit uses a PTT or Push-To-Talk switch on the handset for activating secure voice encoding.
Unless true full duplex is implemented (high security systems that include full duplex operation are at present extremely expensive),
and in many cases even with full duplex, the user finds the delay associated with voice security "annoying".
T?is is even more evident in vex operated sytems.
Automatic Clear Operation in the cycomm equipment attempts to minimize the above by leaving the telephone units in the clear speech state at all times when security is not required.
Thl,ls the telephone operates exactly as normal in this mode.
If the user wants to secure any speech, he simply pushes the handset switch and all speech is encoded until he releases the switch.
The receiving telephone automatically senses the change from clear or normal telephone operation to secure, and starts the decoding process for the incoming encoded speech.
The listener receives only clear speech in both cases (assuming he has the correct code key in his system).
This operation mode has found to be very acceptable, especially in commercial or industrial applications where only a small part of a conversation is required to be secure.
e o Manual Clear Operation - This mode is used if the entire conversation must be secure from both sides at all times.
Here, the user pushes the handset switch to talk and releases to listen.
The system will only go into clear mode if the CLEAR switch on one of the phone sets is pushed.
If CLEAR is activated on one unit, it is automatically set on all units.
An audible warning with indicator is generated on all units to indicate clear mode has been initiated.
o Conferencing - The VEM system allows secure conferencing calls to take place.
The conference call setup is simply accomplished in the clear mode and then conversation may begin from any party. If any user selects secure operation, all phones in the conference (with the same key) will automatically decode the secure speech.
o Multiple Key Operation - The VEM allows the use-of multiple keys that may be setup as Groups, Master or All, or individual ID.
During a conference call, this allows groups or individuals to have private conversations during the call without having to place separate calls for "off to the side" privacy.
o Key Management/Data Communication - A full key management system is available that allows all key control to be handled by one central operator.
Single or multiple keys may be distributed over the phone lines remotely using this systemo The key management system is available as an IBM-PC or equivalent software package and includes the capability for data communication, file transfer, and local file encryption.
o Data Mode - A terminal or computer may be plugged into the VEM data port. If data mode is selected, either user can type or transfer messages and/or files between systems; and talk between data transfers.
Both the speech and the data are secure and the data is error-corrected to insure that all communication is accurate even if interrupted by voice communication.
o Operation - The VEM system is extremely easy to use and will work over all communication paths including phone lines, satellite links, radio, cell telephone, and mobile telephone.
o Exportable versions of the VEM system are also available.

the CYCOMM-1000 and communicate with the rest of yoqr team in complete voice security.
Each year, high tech eavesdroppers spend millions of dollars on surveillance equipment hoping to discover business and industry secrets or anticipate the actions of law enforcement. The CYCOMM-1000 will defeat their efforts and waste their money.
The CYCOMM-1000 is the only affordable voice scrambling device on the market that makes it virtually impossible to listen in to radio conversations.
New CYCOMM-1000 Voice Privacy Systems are available in two configurations. The standard direct-wire module, ready to be interfaced to your existing radio equipment, and the portable CYCOMM-1000SRA (Secure RadioAttache), a powerful radio and standard CYCOMM-1000 System self-contained in a rugged lightweight aluminum carrying case. The Secure Radio Attache is designed for secure communication positions in any kind of field condition without sacrificing transmitting power. Both are easy to use and easy to change codes. You can switch to scrambled speech by pressing one button. All other units will automatically respond.
Cycomm makes secure communication flexible enough to meet your needs. Within a network, you can have groups that share a code and talk securely-as many as five groups-or private two-party conversations. The CYCOMM-1000 stores as many as 80 private two-party codes.
CYCOMM-1000 scrambles the voice signal mathematically and digitally, not physically, so no part of the signal is degraded. In the conversion back, the CYCOMM-1000 analyzes possible distortion areas and reconstructs them to ensure that nothing is lost, so the sound and quality of your voice remains perfectly intact. The decoded voice quality of the CYCOMM-1000 is the best in the industry.
The CYCOMM-1000 converts voice communications into a scrambled signal with trillions of possible code combinations. This technology allows for unimpaired range and the best voice quality you've ever heard. Because the CYCOMM-1000 utilizes cipher block chaining, each succeeding block of data is scrambled differently and at random. Therefore, each block of speech would have to be separately and individually attacked in order to break the message-a virtually impossible task even with computer analysis. These are just a few of the reasons this equipment is used by the United States Government.
