Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to cryptographic issues in communication systems, and more particularly to security enhancements for GSM (Global System for Mobile communication), UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and similar communication systems.
- GSM Global System for Mobile communication
- UMTS Universal Mobile Telecommunications System
- the first type involves an attacker that intercepts and decrypts traffic when the system is using the broken A5/2 algorithm.
- the second type of attack comprises interception of traffic associated with the AKA procedure to record traffic data and the RAND value that is used. Later, a false base station can make the mobile terminal execute an AKA procedure using the previously recorded RAND and then encrypt the traffic using the A5/2 algorithm, which enables the attacker to retrieve the crypto key Kc. Due to the simple dependence on RAND this key, Kc, will be the same key as was used to protect the recorded traffic.
- the third type of attack involves an active man-in-the-middle forcing the terminal to use the A5/2 algorithm, thereby enabling calculation of the crypto key.
- the present invention overcomes these and other drawbacks of the prior art arrangements.
- a basic idea according to the invention is to enhance or update the basic cryptographic security algorithms by an algorithm-specific modification of the security key generated in the normal key agreement procedure of the mobile communication system.
- an enhanced version of one of the basic cryptographic security algorithms supported by the mobile is normally selected, either by the network side or based on a mutual agreement between the mobile and the network side.
- the basic security key resulting from the key agreement procedure between the mobile terminal and the network is. then modified in dependence on information representative of the selected algorithm to generate an algorithm-specific security key.
- the basic security algorithm is finally applied with the algorithm-specific security key as key input to enhance security for protected communication in the mobile communications network.
- the algorithm selection may be performed on the network side, in which case the network side transmits information representative of the selected algorithm to the mobile terminal.
- This solution is for example consistent with GSM of today, where the A5/1 to A5/3 algorithms are selected by the network.
- the selection of enhanced security algorithm according to the invention may, if desired, be based on an agreement between the mobile terminal and the network side, e.g. performed by means of a handshake procedure, answer-offer or similar negotiation protocol.
- the original hardware-implemented algorithms remain the same (at least in the mobile terminal), and for each original algorithm that needs security enhancement, an updated (virtual) security algorithm such as an enhanced ciphering/crypto algorithm is defined based on the original algorithm together with the algorithm-specific key modification.
- the key modification is typically realized by a key-modifying function, which processes the input key based on an algorithm identifier or similar information representative of the selected algorithm and perhaps some additional data to generate a modified key, which is forwarded to the original security algorithm.
- the algorithm identifier has to be able to distinguish between the original basic security algorithms and the enhanced security algorithms.
- the basic solution only requires software updates in the terminals and/or in the network system.
- the problem is basically solved by modifying the terminals and letting them signal that they (only) support updated enhanced versions of the original basic algorithms. Standardization efforts can be kept to a minimum, since only the modifying function and the algorithm identifiers need to be standardized.
- the algorithm selection, key modification and cryptographic security processing such as ciphering may be implemented in a single node, or distributed over several nodes. Often, algorithm selection and key modification is implemented in the same node. Alternatively, however, the algorithm selection and key modification may be distributed over more than one network node if desired. For example, one node may calculate algorithm-specific keys for a whole set of security algorithms and transfer the keys to another node, which then selects an enhanced version of a security algorithm and extracts or derives the appropriate key from the received set of keys. Depending on the system implementation, the actual ciphering or other security processing may be performed in the same node in which the key was derived or in a separate node.
- the invention also provides support for replay protection, basic network authentication and/or secure algorithm selection, preferably based on encoding or embedding information into existing AKA information such as the random challenge used in the AKA procedure with the mobile terminal.
- Network authentication is preferably accomplished by embedding key-dependent authentication information such as a MAC (Message Authentication Code) that can be verified by the mobile terminal.
- MAC Message Authentication Code
- the key modification is useful not only in GSM, but also in UMTS, CDMA or future generation systems, to proactively ensure that similar (perhaps yet undiscovered) problems will not show up later, since the key derivation there is currently also algorithm-independent.
- the invention is applicable in various communications systems, e.g. including GSM/GPRS, W-LAN (Wireless Local Area Network), UMTS and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) systems.
- the invention thus provides a remedy to a basic security design flaw in e.g. the GSM/TJMTS AKA procedures.
- the proposed solution fits nicely into the existing protocol framework and has limited implementation consequences which makes a rapid deployment possible.
- the invention offers the following advantages:

- Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an overview of the enhanced cipher mode setup and key modification procedure according to a specific, exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 7 is a schematic basic signal diagram according to a further exemplary, preferred embodiment of the invention, including security algorithm enhancements with integrated replay protection and network authentication.
- the invention provides a remedy to this type of security flaws, primarily based on algorithm-specific modification of the AKA keying material.
- the keying material provided by the standard AKA procedure 10 is used as input to an enhanced security algorithm 20, which is formed by a key modification 22 in combination with an original security algorithm 24.
- information representing or otherwise identifying a selected algorithm is applied as input to the modify unit.
- the key modification is normally performed by a cryptographic modify function, which at least should be a one-way function and preferably a pseudo-random function.
- the cryptographic modify function may be implemented as a cryptographic hash function.
- Other AKA-related information such as RAND and RES from the AKA procedure, may optionally be introduced to make pre-calculation attacks infeasible, and optional context information may also be introduced if other types of bidding-down attacks can be identified.
- the security processing of the security algorithms is typically related to data confidentiality and ciphering, but may alternatively be concerned with data integrity and/or authentication.
- the key modification can be regarded as an algorithm pre-processing, but can also be seen as an AKA post-processing, in which the output key from the standard AKA procedure is post-processed to produce an algorithm-dependent key. This is merely a matter of definition.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic flow diagram of a method for enhancing security for protected communication in a mobile communications system according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- a key agreement procedure usually as part of a complete AKA procedure involving also authentication of the mobile terminal, is performed.
- step S2 an enhanced version or upgrade of one of the basic security algorithms is selected, on the network side or based on a mutual agreement between the mobile terminal and the network side.
- the enhanced security algorithms are often security-enhanced ciphering/crypto algorithms, although other types of security processing may be of interest. If the algorithm is selected on the network side, information representative of the selected algorithm is transmitted from the network side to the mobile terminal.
- the algorithm selection is usually made by the home network. If the mobile roams in a visited network, the visited network usually makes the algorithm selection according to some predetermined policy. The selection made by the visited network may finally be checked against a security policy of the home network such that the selected algorithm is accepted by the home network. Alternatively, a negotiation between the mobile terminal and the network side is performed to decide which security algorithm to use, e.g. by means of a handshake procedure.
- step S3 key information, typically a basic security key, from the key agreement procedure of step SI is modified to generate algorithm-specific key information.
- step S4 the corresponding basic security algorithm is then applied with the modified and algorithm-specific key information as key input.
- the algorithm-specific key modification and the use of the modified key information is preferably implemented in the mobile terminal as well as on the network side, but at least on the terminal side. Considering the great number of mobile terminals that may be affected by a broken security algorithm, it may be very advantageous to implement the key modification in software, and simply perform a software upgrade of the terminals. This means that the original hardware-implemented algorithms may remain the same, significantly limiting the implementational consequences.
- the key modification is typically realized by a software-implemented key-modifying function such as a one-way cryptographic hash function, which processes the input key based on an algorithm identifier and perhaps some additional data to generate a modified key, which is subsequently forwarded to the original security algorithm.
- the relevant network node or nodes may be updated by means of software upgrades.
- the invention suggest a modification of the keying material produced in standard AKA procedures, such as GSM AKA and UMTS AKA, to generate algorithm-dependent keys.
- standard AKA procedures such as GSM AKA and UMTS AKA
- the invention is generally applicable in various communication systems including GSM, GPRS, W-LAN, CDMA, UMTS, IMS or future generation systems, the invention will now primarily be described in the context of GSM/GPRS and UMTS AKA procedures.
- Kc' GSM_Modify (Kc, Algorithm d, [RAND, RES, Other_context_info]) and for UMTS:
- Ck', Ik' UMTS_Modify (Ck, Ik, Algorithm d, [RAND, RES, Other_context_info])
- GSM_Modify ( ) and UMTS_Modify ( ) functions are cryptographic functions, for example based on MD5, SHA1 or some variant thereof, truncating to the left-most 64/128 bits, respectively.
- UMTS it is also possible to use some function that takes both Ck and Ik as input to produce a 256-bits output.
- the RAND may be introduced to make pre-calculation attacks infeasible. For inter-MSC handovers and similar handovers in other systems, the RAND is then typically transferred together with the standard handover information from the old MSC to the new MSC.
- the terminal signals which updated algorithms that it supports, as well as a user or subscriber ID.
- the network side (involving the home network and/or visited network as and when required by a conventional AKA procedure) initiates authentication and key agreement by creating a RAND, calculating an expected response and one or more keys. Based on the subscriber ID, the relevant shared secret subscriber key can be retrieved on the network side to enable the AKA calculations.
- the network sends RAND to the terminal.
- the terminal enters RAND into the GSM SIM, UMTS SIM, ISLM or similar functionality and gets, based on a shared subscriber key, a response RES and one or more keys.
- the terminal sends RES to the network side.
- the network side checks RES to authenticate the terminal.
- the home network checks the RES against an expected response XRES.
- the visited network normally checks the RES by comparison with XRES received from the home network.
- RES and XRES are normally both referred to as SRES.
- the network side (home network or visited network depending on where the mobile is situated) preferably selects one of the updated algorithms supported by the terminal and initiates ciphering. Naturally, the network side also has to support the selected enhanced security algorithm.
- the network side sends the algorithm ID to the terminal.
- the terminal initiates ciphering based on the selected updated algorithm including algorithm-dependent key modification.
- the algorithm identifier has to be able to distinguish between the original basic security algorithms and the enhanced security algorithms.
- Table I illustrates a possible example of algorithm identifiers for the basic GSM/GPRS crypto algorithms and a corresponding set of enhanced crypto algorithms:
- New enhanced crypto algorithms here represented by A5/1 ', A5/2', ..., A5/k ..., GEA1', GEA2', ..., GEAr ⁇ ' for the particular case of GSM and GPRS ciphering, have thus been defined.
- A5/1 ', A5/2', ..., A5/k ..., GEA1', GEA2', ..., GEAr ⁇ ' for the particular case of GSM and GPRS ciphering.
- k number
- m 4
- each of the enhanced algorithms is formed by algorithm- specific key modification in combination with the corresponding basic algorithm. If the network for some reason selects a basic security algorithm, the AKA key will be passed transparently without modification to the basic algorithm.
- An exemplary solution is to upgrade the terminals and let them signal that they only support updated version of the (current) basic algorithms. This can be done by defining new crypto algorithms, e.g. A5/1', A5/2', ..., A5Ik GEA1', GEA2', ..., GEAm' for the particular case of GSM and GPRS, or by an indication in the signaling of general terminal capabilities.
- new crypto algorithms e.g. A5/1', A5/2', ..., A5Ik GEA1', GEA2', ..., GEAm' for the particular case of GSM and GPRS, or by an indication in the signaling of general terminal capabilities.
- the terminal signals support of A5/x', A5/y', ...., and also sends the user or subscriber ID.
- the network sends RAND to the terminal.
- the terminal enters the RAND into the SIM and gets RES and Kc.
- the terminal sends RES to the network.
- the network selects a supported algorithm, e.g. A5/y', and initiates ciphering with use of A5/y'.
- a supported algorithm e.g. A5/y'
- the network sends the algorithm identifier of A5/y' to the terminal.
- the modifying function should at least be a one-way function, preferably a pseudo-random function.
- a keyed standard cryptographic hash function like MD5, SHA-1, or some variant thereof, e.g. HMAC, can be used. If desired, it is even possible to change (increase/decrease) the size of the basic AKA key by means of the modifying function.
- key processing and/or concatenation of key material may be employed to increase the final key size.
- the modification unit may invoke the SIM a second time using RAND plus a predetermined constant as a new random challenge and concatenate the first AKA key with the second AKA key to generate a new double-sized key, which may subsequently be made algorithmspecific by means of a cryptographic one-way function.
- Another example involves processing of the AKA key, e.g. by shifting bits, to generate a processed AKA key, which may then be concatenated with the original AKA key to increase the key size.
- the modification unit may include other security enhancement functions that can be combined with the algorithm-specific key modification proposed by the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a schematic block diagram of the relevant parts of a mobile terminal according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, implementing an algorithm-specific key modification.
- the AKA functionality 10 is implemented in a standard identity module (IM) 15 such as the GSM SIM card, but may alternatively be provided elsewhere in the mobile terminal 100.
- IM standard identity module
- the AKA output key(s) is then forwarded, optionally together with RAND, RES and/or context information, to the inventive key modification module 22.
- the key modification module 22 processes the AKA output key(s) in response to an algorithm identifier representative of the selected security algorithm to generate an algorithm-specific security key.
- This modified key is then transferred to the basic security algorithm 24, here exemplified by a crypto algorithm, such as e.g.
- the basic security algorithm 24 also receives the information to be protected by the security algorithm.
- so-called "clear text" data is encrypted by the security algorithm based on the algorithm-specific security key to generate encrypted output data.
- the key modification module 22 is normally implemented as terminal software/hardware, preferably by using the general terminal capabilities of the mobile 100. As mentioned, it is advantageous to implement the key modification as a software upgrade based on a suitable cryptographic modify function for execution by terminal processing hardware. However, if some mobile designer/manufacturer wants all cryptographic functions to be in hardware, there is nothing that prevents a hardware implementation of the key modification.
- new GSM phones may be provided with an additional key modification hardware module that is arranged for cooperation with the AKA module and the ordinary basic cryptographic ciphering algorithm.
- the crypto algorithm 24 is typically realized in terminal hardware, preferably close to the RX/TX chain 30.
- the identity module 15 can be any tamper-resistant identity module known to the art, including standard SIM cards used in GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) mobile telephones, UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) SIM (USIM), WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) SIM, also known as WIM, ISIM (IP Multimedia Subsystem Identity Module) and, more generally, UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) modules.
- the AKA functionality does not necessarily have to be implemented in an identity module, or at least not in a hardware module such as the ordinary SIM. It is even possible to emulate an entire identity module including AKA functionality in software.
- the invention is applicable both when the mobile terminal is in its home network and when it roams in a visited network, as long as the home network and the visited network, respectively, supports the enhanced security algorithms (it is sufficient that the home network is aware of the existence of the algorithms). Since the latter case, when the mobile roams into a visited network, is somewhat more complex, we will briefly describe an exemplary network architecture including both a home network and a visited network with reference to Fig. 5. In addition to a general network architecture, Fig. 5 also illustrates the involved nodes for each of a number of exemplary communication systems.
- the overall network architecture includes a mobile terminal 100, a network access point 200, one or more so-called security-enabling nodes 300 in the visited network and one or more subscriber-handling network nodes 400 in the home network.
- the network access point may for example be a BTS (Base Transceiver Station) node, a node B or a W-LAN access point, depending on the considered communication system.
- BTS Base Transceiver Station
- the security-enabling nodes 300 in the visited network have to provide support for user authentication, in which mobile terminals authenticate towards the network in order to gain access to the network services. This authentication may also serve as a base for billing the users.
- the basic security protocols of modern communication systems normally involve a challenge-response authentication and key agreement (AKA) procedure.
- AKA challenge-response authentication and key agreement
- the AKA procedure is most often based on symmetric cryptography using a secret key shared between the mobile terminal and the home network, as previously described.
- the shared secret key is normally stored in a subscriber identity module such as the GSM SIM, USIM, ISIM, WIM, or more generally in a UICC.
- a subscriber identity module such as the GSM SIM, USIM, ISIM, WIM, or more generally in a UICC.
- one or more network nodes 400 handles the subscribers and related security information.
- the subscriber-handling node(s) 400 of the home network communicates with the security-enabling node(s) 300 in the visited network, usually transferring AKA-related information and optionally also security policy information from the home network to the visited network.
- the security-enabling node(s) also includes functionality for selecting a suitable security algorithm for protected communication with the mobile teiminal.
- the security-enabling node(s) 300 is implemented with a key modification function for modifying the normal AKA output key(s) in dependence on the selected algorithm to provide support for the enhanced security algorithms according to the invention.
- These security-enabling nodes may also include the actual cryptographic engines for security processing such as ciphering. However, in some systems such as GSM, the ciphering is implemented in the actual base transceiver station acting as the network access point.
- the algorithm selection, key modification and the actual ciphering may be implemented in a single node, or distributed over several nodes.
- algorithm selection and key modification is implemented in the same node. Alternatively, however, the algorithm selection and key modification may be distributed over multiple network nodes if desired. Depending on the system implementation, the actual ciphering or other security processing may or may not be co-located with the key generation functionality. In the latter case, the modified algorithm-specific key to be used in the ciphering algorithm may have to be transferred to a separate node, in which the ciphering is performed.
- the security-enabling nodes typically correspond to the BSC (Base Station Controller) and the MSC/VLR (Mobile Switching Center/Visited Location Register).
- the HLR/AuC Home Location Register/ Authentication Center
- the subscriber-handling network node(s) 300 may naturally be a home operator HLR/AuC, possibly involving an AAA (Authorization, Authentication and Accounting) server that may or may not be co-located with the authentication center. However, it may also be a broker acting as a general authentication center, or identity center, for a number of different network operators.
- the proposed solution only requires extension of the algorithm identifiers and implementation of an algorithm-specific key modification in a suitable place in the BSC or in the MSC/VLR.
- the actual ciphering is executed in the BTS base station. This means that the modified key has to be forwarded from the BSC to the base station for the actual ciphering.
- the BTS may also be considered as part of the security-enabling node(s). Standard authentication and key agreement parameters are typically obtained from the HLR/AuC .
- both key modification and ciphering are typically implemented in the SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node) node, which also handles authentication of subscribers in the visited network.
- the GSM BSS Base Station System
- the GSM BSS Base Station System with its BTS base station thus has a more passive role in this context, compared to the pure GSM case.
- the security-enabling nodes typically correspond to the proxy AAA node and the WSNFA (W-LAN Serving Node), which interacts with the W- LAN Access Point (AP).
- Standard authentication and key agreement parameters are obtained from the HLR/AuC and an AAA server.
- the access point is the NodeB
- the security-enabling nodes correspond to the RNC (Radio Network Controller) and the MSC nodes.
- the HLR/AuC takes care of the necessary interaction with the MSC and RNC nodes.
- the Proxy CSCF Call State Control Function
- the Proxy CSCF corresponds to the security-enabling node, and may include algorithm-specific key modification to enhance security for application-level control signaling.
- user data may also be protected by employing a key modification according to the invention.
- a HSS Home Subscriber System
- the Serving CSCF normally authenticates IMS subscribers.
- Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram illustrating an overview of the enhanced cipher mode setup and key modification procedure according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, related to the specific case of GSM.
- a list of algorithms supported by the mobile is transferred from the mobile terminal 100 to the BSS (Base Station System), preferably to the BSC 310 via the BTS base station 200, assuming that the algorithm decision or negotiation takes place in the BSC.
- the list of supported algorithms preferably includes at least the enhanced security algorithms A5/1', A5/2', A5/3', but possibly also the basic algorithms A5/1, A5/2 and A5/3.
- the MSC 320 transfers a list of algorithms allowed by the security policy of the visited network to the BSS system and more particularly to the BSC 310 in a CMC (Cipher Mode Command) command similar to that standardized in TS48.008.
- the BSS system, and especially the BSC 310 then normally selects an algorithm for protected communication with the mobile terminal based on the list of supported algorithms and the list of allowed algorithms and, if an enhanced security algorithm is selected, preferably derives an algorithm-specific security key.
- the BSS system also transmits an algorithm identifier of the selected algorithm to the mobile terminal in a radio interface CMC command similar to that standardized in TS 44.018.
- the key derivation can be accomplished by calculating the modified key in the BSC 310 in dependence on the selected algorithm.
- the MSC 320 calculates algorithm-specific modified keys for all the algorithms allowed by the visited network and transfers them, preferably in connection with the CMC command, to the BSC, which in turn selects the algorithm and extracts the appropriate key from the calculated set of keys.
- the actual ciphering is performed by the BTS base station 200 of the BSS system.
- the mobile terminal 100 is here provided with a key modification functionality according to the invention and applies the algorithm identifier, possibly together with additional information, into the key modification function to generate a corresponding algorithm-specific key to be used for ciphering.
- the algorithm selection made by the visited network may be checked against a security policy of the home network such that one can be ensured that the selected algorithm is accepted by the home network. Normally, this means that a list of algorithms allowed by the home network is transferred to the mobile terminal. This information is preferably integrity protected so that the mobile can be sure that the information has not been tampered with, as will be described later on.
- the invention preferably also provides support for replay protection, basic network authentication and/or secure algorithm selection, preferably based on encoding or embedding information into existing AKA information such as the random challenge RAND used in the AKA procedure with the mobile terminal. If one can also accept modifications to the AuC or corresponding node on the home network side, replay protection, network authentication as well as further enhancements to the security can be achieved as will be discussed below.
- the RAND value is supposed to be random, but it is possible to use a few bits of RAND to signal some additional information from the home network (AuC) to the terminal to further enhance the security.
- AuC home network
- the above embodiments fix the problems with key-uniqueness per algorithm, but they do not generally remove problems with replay or lack of network authentication.
- the exemplary solution below accomplishes this with minimal additional changes (to the AuC and terminal only) and no new signaling.
- Fig. 7 is a schematic basic signal diagram according to a further exemplary, preferred embodiment of the invention, including security algorithm enhancements with integrated replay protection and network authentication.
- security algorithm enhancements with integrated replay protection and network authentication.
- the below example is related to the GSM case, but the mechanisms described are not limited thereto as will be readily understood by the skilled person.
- the terminal signals which updated algorithms that it supports, preferably together with its subscriber ID to the visited network and the MSC VLR node.
- the visited network forwards the subscriber ID to the home network, and more particularly to the HLR AuC or corresponding node.
- the AuC forms RAND values as follows. (Assuming that RAND is normally 128 bits in size).
- the AuC maintains for each mobile (SIM) a counter, c, of the number of authentications performed for said mobile.
- the counter c is a representative example of replay protection information.
- a (128-t-m)-bit random value R is generated in the AuC, where m is determined below.
- r R )
- MAC Message Authentication Code
- HMAC HMAC
- the MAC is a representative example of network authentication information.
- RAND is sent to the mobile as usual (and Kc, XRES is sent to the visited network).
- the AuC increases c by one.
- the following actions are preferably performed:
- the mobile also maintains a counter c', of the number of authentications it has made.
- the mobile then sends r to the SIM, and derives k (re-using the SIM).
- the mobile checks whether MAC is correct by calculating XMAC(k, r) and comparing MAC and XMAC. If MAC is not correct, the mobile aborts the protocol.
- the mobile invokes the SIM again, but now with the full RAND as input to obtain RES and Kc.
- the terminal sends RES to the network side.
- the visited network normally checks RES by comparison with XRES received from the home network, to authenticate the terminal.
- the visited network selects one of the updated enhanced algorithms supported by the terminal and initiates ciphering.
- the visited network sends the algorithm ID to the terminal.
- the terminal initiates ciphering based on the selected updated algorithm including algorithm-dependent key modification.
- the mobile can now communicate with the visited network. Note that due to the pseudo-random properties of the MAC function, the decrease in relative entropy of RAND is small, basically only the bits corresponding to the counter are lost.
- the MAC Since the MAC is calculated over r which includes the value c, there will be some integrity protection for this data as well. It is noticed that if an attacker modifies the replay protection information, the MAC can not be verified and the protocol will be aborted. Again, independently of whether or not a MAC is used, the RAND value will not be the same anymore, resulting in an incorrect RES that does not match the expected response XRES on the network side. Hence, there is no possibility of successful user authentication if someone has tampered with the RAND value.
- the replay protection and network authentication aspects may be separated and executed independently of each other.
- a counter value or a timestamp may be encoded or otherwise embedded into the RAND value.
- key-dependent authentication information such as a MAC code or similar is calculated on the network side and transmitted to the mobile terminal for verification. Further improvements are also possible by combining the above principles with some additional ideas that have already been proposed, e.g. in the contribution [2]. For instance, a few extra bits of RAND can be allocated for signaling a security policy from the home network to the mobile.
- the j:th bit of RAND may be set to 1 if and only if algorithm number j (according to some agreed numbering of algorithms) is allowed to be used by the mobile.
- An entire list of algorithms allowed by the home network may thus be communicated embedded in the RAND.
- the mobile terminal can then check if the algorithm selected by the visited network is accepted by the home network. If not, the mobile terminal will abort the protocol. It is also possible and desirable to provide integrity protection by calculating a MAC over the information on security algorithms allowed by the home network.
- the value RAND r
- the value r, the counter value c as well as the information on algorithms allowed by the home network are extracted by the mobile, and the MAC is checked.
- An advantage of the invention is that the solution can co-exist with other proposals, including those outlined in references [2, 3]. While the proposals [2, 3] do enhance various security aspects, neither of them provides desired key-separation. This means that if algorithms X and Y are both allowed and supported, then the mobile can potentially end up running both X and Y with the same key, Kc.
- the HLR/AuC On the network side.
- the CSCF (Call State Control Function) node in the IP Multimedia sub-system needs to be updated in the basic key modification realizations, and with replay protection, network authentication and/or secure algorithm selection, the HSS (Home Subscriber System) node also requires modification.
