Fails
WP:RS, either). The article is completely unsourced too, so I don't think it would be a good idea to merge it with secure telephone, contrarily to the editor who deprodded it. A redirect could be an option however. BilletsMauves€500 18:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

- Keep. Search Google Books and open library finds quite a few information security/cryptographic books have talked about, perhaps the two best examples are:
- Information Security Management Handbook Volume IV, Harold Tipton, 2019. gbook

- A Brief History of Cryptology, J. V. Boone, 2005. archive.org link p. 83 and later.
The KY-3 voice encryption system was still too large and power-hungry for graceful tactical field use and was not intended for that purpose, but it did gain acceptance in a wide variety of office-like applications. It was specified in detail by NSA engineers and produced by the Bendix Corporation.

- I'll try my best to incorporate those and a few other references to the article soon, if no one else does it before. Skynxnex (talk) 20:56, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
