Which designation refers to the SKL device?

• A. AN/PYQ-10
• B. KG-84
• C. KYV-5
• D. KWR-46

Answer: (A)

AN/PYQ-10 is the official designation for the Simple Key Loader (SKL). The SKL is the DoD/NOSA crypto key loading and management device used to securely transfer and store cryptographic keys for Type 1 equipment, replacing older fill devices and ensuring keys are handled in a controlled, auditable manner. Other designations refer to different cryptographic equipment with distinct roles—KG-84 relates to an older crypto gear in the KG-84 family, KYV-5 is a separate secure device, and KWR-46 is another crypto device—so they are not the SKL.
