- Electronic Warfare: The MXC-T21 Alviss is next-generation electronic warfare equipment designed to protect a ship or installation from any kind of sabotage or infiltration via communication and electronic methods.
- Where's my Transmitter: The Alviss does not include its own transmitter, and requires some sort of communication system to communicate or transmit messages.
A next-generation EWAR suite, the MX-T21 Alviss Electronic Countermeasures Package was designed by Roble Manufacturing to be an advanced piece of technology that ships, installations, or anything with sufficient space and a transmitter could use to prevent slicing, sabotage or enemy decryption. The Alviss has sufficient components and technology to secure any holonet system or communication device from sabotage, working as a defensive component in electronic warfare.
One of the prime functions of the Alviss is to ensure that messages are transmitted without the fear of slicing or sabotage. To prevent this, the Alviss features both an encrypted or decrypted logarithm that can both receive and transmitted coded messages. The Alviss randomly generates encryption and a corresponding key for each message, meaning that any potential slicing will not be able to use an already pre-determined key. Upon receiving the said message, another Alviss is able to use the same logarithm that generated the key to 'guess' and eventually decrypt the message. This entire process of encryption and decryption takes milliseconds thanks to the powerful processor core of the countermeasures package.
However, a problem arises when a message is directed to a recipient that is not using an Alviss. For this, the Alviss is able to resort to using pre-determined encryption keys; while these keys present a higher risk of being sabotaged than the random-generation of a countermeasure package-to-package, it still provides a much higher level of security than unencrypted messages. These pre-determined encryption keys can be inputted by anyone with an Alviss, and using a pre-determined key can be beneficial in that other encryption technologies can be used to decrypt the message, allowing for more variability.
Encryption of messages is not the only thing that the Alviss is designed for, though. The package is also designed to secure electronic systems -- although this last one is tricky to define, as the Alviss only works by attaching itself to a transmitter. Ships with only one transmitter have a single port going in and out, meaning that only one package is required -- but areas with multiple communication ports require multiple Alviss countermeasure packages to lock down, so on and so for. To prevent slicer sabotage, the Alviss features an auto-refresh firewall, a socketguard component, and different algorithms and routines that are either passively or manually deployed to prevent sabotage.
Overall, the Alviss is an extremely capable and powerful defensive electronic warfare technology.
