The KYK-13 Electronic Transfer Device is a common fill device designed by the United States National Security Agency for the transfer and loading of cryptographic keys with their corresponding check word.

KYK-13 is a portable battery-powered device for the distribution of cryptographic key material — in particular Transmission Encryption Keys (TEKs) — introduced in 1976 by the US National Security Agency .

The KYK-13 is a small electronic transfer device used by the military for the distribution of cryptographic material, commonly refererred to as Transmission Encryption Keys (TEK). It was developed by the US

This is a synchronous serial protocol that was used with the first generation of Key Fill Devices, such as the KYK-13. It is the predecessor of the DS-101 protocol, and can be used for the distribution of key material and frequency hopping tables.

The KYK-13 can hold up to 6 keys simultaneously, which can then be selected with a 6-position rotary switch at the front of the device. The KYK-13 was then used to transfer the key(s) to one or more KY-57 devices in the field.

The KYK-13 is a battery operated, hand or pocket carried transfer and storage device which can store up to six keys. It is used to load and transfer keys to a KYX-15, another KYK-13 or to compatible COMSEC equipment such as the AN/CYZ-10.
