Enigma Designation XPA, also known as MFSKMultiple Frequency Shift-Keying-20, CISCommonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the former Soviet Republic MFSKMultiple Frequency Shift-Keying-17, and CISCommonwealth of Independent States (CIS), the former Soviet Republic MFSKMultiple Frequency Shift-Keying-20, is a 17-tone MFSKMultiple Frequency Shift-Keying signal said to have origin from Russian Intelligence and Foreign Ministry stations.

XPA has a very unique preamble sequence, and a lower "sync" tone that other MFSKMultiple Frequency Shift-Keying systems don't have. XPA transmits 5 number groups of unknown meaning. XPA has used 10 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second. USBUpper Side Band Modulation (Radio, referring to reception and modulation mode)Universal Serial Bus (Computer, referring to USB Ports and cables) mode and 20 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second. DSBDual Side Band Modulation (AMAmplitude Modulation) mode, but since 2011 XPA has stopped using the 20 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second. mode and is only using the 10 baudBaud (unit symbol Bd) is the unit for symbol rate or modulation rate in symbols per second.
