What device must be inserted into the KG-175D to establish an encrypted connection on the SIPR laptop?

Explanation:
To establish an encrypted connection with the KG-175D, you insert the Crypto Ignition Key. The CIK is the removable hardware token that carries the crypto material and authorizes the KG-175D to load its keys and start encryption. Without the CIK, the device cannot unlock its cryptographic functions, so an encrypted SIPR session cannot be established. The other items serve different purposes or devices and do not enable the KG-175D to begin encryption in this setup: a Key Device is used elsewhere for key handling in other systems, a VPN Token is for VPN-based access rather than the KG-175D’s encryption path, and a Crypto Pad is used for manual input on some devices, not for initiating encryption on the KG-175D.
