Zusammenfassung:A host device (110) associated with an avionic data transfer system receives one or more cryptographic keys from a removable data storage device. The host device (110) identifies at least one cryptographic unit (115) of a plurality of cryptographic units in communication with the host device over a data bus. The host device transfers the one or more cryptographic keys to the cryptographic unit via the data bus. The removable data storage device preferably comprises a key fill device or a cryptographic ignition key (CIK) device.
