ME-830
OTT cipher machine (mixer) - wanted item
 
The ME-830 was an on-line and off-line cipher machine for teleprinter networks, developed by Mils Elektronik in Mils (Austria) in the mid-1980s. The device was build around a standard PC of the era and was suitable for telex messages and, via an upgrade, for fax and text messages.
 
The M-830 supported two types of encryption: algorithm-based encryption by means of a built-in key generator, and, for high-level messages, the unbreakable One-Time Pad cipher (OTP).   

 
Help required
At present we have no further information about this device. Furthermore, we are still hoping to add it to our collection in due course. If you have such a device or any related information, and are willing to donate it to Crypto Museum, please contact us.
