Zitat:TUBITAK succeeded in producing the crypt tool which NATO is to use in its “very secret” communication. TUBITAK was accepted for the bid by having approval of NATO and it will compete with Britain and Germany which produce the advanced technologies of the world. If TUBITAK’s tool which passed the tests successfully at the headquarters of NATO won the bid, the NATO countries would communicate through “ISDN Crypto BRI” tool.

The Chairman of TUBITAK National Electronic and Cryptology Research Institute, Onder Yetis said, “Our technologic accumulation is on the top. We are among 10 countries over cryptology.” Yetis said that if TUBITAK won the tender, the relevant tool would be started to sell and it would be used for 12 years for the communication of NATO.
