CENTRIXS-M Enclaves are established using which encryption type?

• A. KG 175 Type-1 Encryption
• B. CENTRIXS-M Enclaves
• C. Shipboard Enclaves
• D. CENTRIX-M Software

Answer: (A)

CENTRIXS-M Enclaves rely on hardware-based, NSA-certified encryption to protect classified communications, specifically using the KG 175 Type-1 Encryption devices. Type-1 encryption denotes hardware modules approved for safeguarding national-security information, providing the high-assurance cryptography needed for secure data and voice across CENTRIXS-M networks. The KG 175 family is a standard means to establish that level of protection within these enclaves, ensuring interoperability and security for coalition operations. The other options describe either the enclave concept or software components, not the encryption mechanism itself, so they don’t specify how the data is actually encrypted at the required security level.
