摘要:
A method for managing a packet in a communication system between two or more endpoints, a sender and one or more recipients, comprises receiving a first packet comprising a source identifier that uniquely identifies a sender of the first packet and a current source time assigned to the first packet by the sender, determining a received time for the first packet, retrieving a cached source time assigned by the sender to a second packet that was received prior to receiving the first packet, and determining whether to discard or process the first packet based on the current source time, the received time, and the cached source time. The current source time, the received time, and the cached time, in addition to predetermined parameters such as a maximum age and an anti-replay window allows a recipient to determine whether to process or discard a packet.

A security gateway and an initiating device perform methods for establishing a security session. The methods includes the security gateway: receiving a first message from an initiating device, the first message including a first message authentication code; validating the first message using the message authentication code; and responsive to the validating, sending a second message to the initiating device, the second message including a timestamp and further including a second message authentication code for authenticating of the timestamp by the initiating device, wherein the first and second messages are used to establish the security session, and the authenticated timestamp is used for subsequent replay protection of messages between the security gateway and the initiating device. The method further includes the security gateway validating a dynamically assigned IP address for the initiating device to use in authorizing VPN traffic between the two devices.

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 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.
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.

A method for updating at least one attribute stored at a mobile station comprises determining a mobile station hash that is representative of a set of attributes that is currently stored at the mobile station and determining a desired hash that is representative of a set of desired attributes desired to be stored at the mobile station. The method additionally includes comparing the mobile station hash with the desired hash, and updating at least one attribute in the set of attributes that is currently stored at the mobile station when the mobile station hash is not equal to the desired hash.
