How is Modern Key obtained?

Modern Key is obtained by ordering it from the COMSEC Central Facility. This process ensures that the cryptographic keys used for secure communications are generated, managed, and distributed by a centralized authority that adheres to strict security protocols. This method helps maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the keys, ensuring they meet national security standards.

The other options do not align with the required procedures for obtaining Modern Key. While authorized vendors may supply various types of equipment and software relevant to COMSEC, keys must come from a secure and controlled source, such as the COMSEC Central Facility, to prevent the risk of compromise. Requesting keys via an online portal might introduce unnecessary risks if not properly secured, while generating them internally could lead to inconsistencies in key quality and security adherence, making these methods unsuitable for acquiring modern cryptographic keys.
