Disclosed is a method for encrypted communications. A first IPsec endpoint selects a security association (SA) from a security association database (SAD) by using a selector and then extracts an indexing parameter from SA. The indexing parameter is used to determine an active key location from a key storage database (KSD). Data packets are then encrypted using a key from the active key location. The first IPsec endpoint also forms a security parameter index (SPI) in a header of the data packet by using a keyID from the active key location and transmits the encrypted data packet with the header indicating the SPI to a second IPsec endpoint.

A method for operating with KMFs includes a communication device having a memory device: receiving a designation of a primary KMF for the communication device, wherein only one primary KMF is designated for the communication device at any given time instance; receiving a designation of a secondary KMF for the communication device; storing, within the memory device, a first and a second set of crypto groups, wherein each crypto group within each set of crypto groups comprises at least one keyset, wherein each set of crypto groups is associated, within the memory device, to only one KMF identifier; associating, within the memory device, the first set of crypto groups to an identifier for the primary KMF; and associating, within the memory device, the second set of crypto groups to an identifier for the secondary KMF.

A radio is authenticated at the site and unique authentication information for the radio is stored at the site. A subsequent non-authentication message from the radio is received at the site and authentication information in the non-authentication message is identified. The unique authentication information stored at the site is compared with authentication information identified in the non-authentication message. If there is a match, the non-authentication message is authenticated with an authentication code included in the non-authentication message, wherein a predefined portion of the authentication code is obtained from at least one of a header portion or a data portion of the non-authentication message. Upon successfully completing authentication, the site repeats the non-authentication message towards destination radios indicated in non-authentication message.

A sending device generates a first and a second KMM, wherein the first KMM includes a first KEK and a KMM encryption key, and the second KMM includes a set of symmetric encryption keys. The sending device further encrypts the set of symmetric encryption keys using the first KEK; encrypts the first KEK and the KMM encryption key using a first public key of a receiving device; and encrypts the second KMM using the KMM encryption key to generate an encrypted second KMM before sending the first KMM and the encrypted second KMM to the receiving device. The receiving device decrypts the first KEK and the KMM encryption key using a first private key that corresponds to the first public key; and decrypts the encrypted second KMM using the KMM encryption key to obtain the encrypted set of symmetric keys.

摘要:
A first communication unit receives an encrypted transmission from a second communication unit. The encrypted transmission was encrypted by the second communication unit using a first encryption key. The first communication unit compares the first encryption key to an encryption key associated with the first communication unit. If the first encryption key matches the encryption key associated with the first communication unit, the first communication unit processes the encrypted transmission further. If the first encryption key does not match the encryption key associated with the first communication unit, the first communication unit compares the first encryption key to an encryption key associated with the second communication unit. If the first encryption key matches the encryption key associated with the second communication unit, the first communication unit processes the encrypted transmission further; otherwise, the first communication unit does not process the encrypted transmission further.

Application service is provided for a subscriber unit (SU), employing a first protocol, in a communication network employing a second protocol. The method includes receiving a CAI OTAR message from the SU. The CAI OTAR message includes at least a key management message (KMM) and a CAI header of the SU. The method then includes determining that the first protocol employed by the SU is different from the second protocol associated with the communication network based on the received CAI OTAR message. The method further includes creating a key management message (KMM) preamble, associated with the second protocol, based on at least one of the CAI header and configuration information of the SU, and creating a data link independent (DLI) OTAR message associated with the second protocol. The DLI OTAR message includes the received KMM. The method finally includes encapsulating the DLI OTAR message with the created KMM preamble, and sending the encapsulated DLI OTAR message to a key management facility (KMF) unit operating at a second protocol.

A mobile device and method are provided that allow for registering the mobile device using a machine readable optical label. The mobile device receives a machine readable optical label, such as a QR code or a bar code. The machine readable optical label includes authentication data and security information. The mobile device scans machine readable optical label to read the authentication data and the security information. The mobile device validates the machine readable optical label and generates certificate request, the certificate request digitally signed using the authentication data and the security information. The mobile device transmits the certificate signing request to a registration authority.
摘要:
A plurality of storage location numbers (“SLNs”), each having a cryptographic period, is received at a first device (100). A system cryptographic period is determined based on the SLN cryptographic periods. Prior to expiration of each system cryptographic period, if at least one SLN requires an updated, the first device sends updated key material for the at least one SLN. A second device (102) maintains first, second, and third keysets, wherein the first and second keysets comprise key material. The second device receives a message to make the first keyset active, and a second message for updating at least a portion of the key material in the second keyset with updated key material for at least one SLN. The second device makes the third keyset equivalent to the second keyset, updates the second keyset with the updated key material, and receives a third message to make the second keyset active.
