EIDEL Showcases RCDS® at International Data Link Symposium in Victoria, Canada

EIDEL Showcases RCDS®at International Data Link Symposium in Victoria, Canada

Victoria, Canada – November 12–14, 2025
The International Data Link Symposium (IDLS) is a premier global forum for military, government, and industry leaders to collaborate on secure, interoperable data link solutions. It plays a critical role in shaping standards and technologies that enable allied forces to share information seamlessly across platforms and domains—essential for mission success in modern, network-centric operations.

For the third consecutive year, EIDEL is proud to exhibit at IDLS, presenting its Remote Crypto Distribution System (RCDS®) — a solution designed to simplify and secure cryptographic key distribution across defense networks. At the event, EIDEL demonstrates how RCDS® streamlines crypto fill between devices and terminals over secure networks, eliminating the need for traditional manual processes. This innovation reduces operational complexity and enhances security for allied forces operating in distributed and tactical environments.

Upcoming Feature Release: RCDS® Verified for Key Transfers Between Crypto Key Loaders

For years, RCDS® has been the trusted platform for remote keying, re-keying, and deletion of cryptographic keys to radios, radars, and other terminals—even in the most challenging conditions. Now, EIDEL is taking this capability further.

Now demonstrated: Key Transfers Between Simple Key Loaders
RCDS® has successfully tested key transfers between Simple Key Loaders (SKLs) and other supported loaders. This enhancement, included in the next official release, delivers:

  • Seamless interoperability between SKLs and other key loaders.
  • Full compliance with security protocols while reducing manual handling.
  • Streamlined workflows for distributed and tactical operations.

Why It Matters

Traditionally, crypto key distribution relied on physical couriers—a process fraught with logistical and security challenges. With this new feature, RCDS® continues to evolve as a future-ready platform, offering greater control, efficiency, and security for modern defense communications.
