Entering any User Password at power up enables normal radio operation.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) SECTION 10 SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) • 10.1 GENERAL 10.1.1 INTRODUCTION This radio may be equipped to provide secure communication on some or all channels. This feature encrypts the voice so that it can be understood only by someone using a radio equipped with a similar encryption device and encryption codes. DES-OFB - A form of DES encryption for digital channels that uses output feedback.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Crypto Group A Keyset A1 Keyset A2 Keyset ID 1 Zone 1, Chan 2 PID 1 Zone 2, Chan 4 2 3 Zone 2, Chan 5 Zone 3, Chan 1 Zone 3, Chan 2 4 5 Keyset ID 2 Algorithm ID Algorithm ID Update Item (Opt) Update Item (Opt) Storage Loc.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) When multiple encryption keys are programmed (see preceding information), the Key Select option switch can be programmed to allow selection of another key for the current channel. This feature changes the PID (hardware location) of the key, and the change is permanent (cycling power or selecting a different channel does not reselect the original key). Therefore, to switch back to the original key, it must be manually reselected.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) No Autodetect - Only signals coded like the transmit signals are received. Clear - All calls are in the clear mode unless responding to a secure call. If the response is then made within the delay time (see Section 4.8.4), it occurs in the secure mode. Secure Autodetect - Both clear and secure signals are automatically detected. This mode is automatically selected if the transmit mode is switch selectable. Secure - All calls are made in the selected secure mode.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) 2. With EFJohnson radios, each keyset can contain up to 128 keys, but less than 16 are normally used for optimum keying efficiency and because only up to 16 can be selected by the radio. necessary. It is no longer necessary to periodically travel to the radio location or bring the radio into a maintenance facility to load new keys. The actual OTAR rekeying functions are performed by a Key Management Facility (KMF) that sends Key Management Messages (KMM) to the radios.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Section 10.5.2. This parameter is used to minimize the possibility of someone sending messages to “spoof” the system. The MNP is used as follows. radios within the radio system. One of the main tasks of the KMF is to maintain a data base of information Crypto Group ID (4-Bit = 0-15/0-F) Every message sent out has a message number. The message number increments by one with each message sent. The MNP is the maximum difference allowed between messages.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Key ID - This is a 16-bit (four hex digit) number identifier from 1-65535 for an encryption key which allows the key to be identified without revealing the actual key variable. This ID and the Algorithm ID uniquely identify a key within the KMF or subscriber unit. Therefore, two keys can have the same ID if they have different algorithm IDs and vice versa.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Message Number Period (MNP) - The maximum difference between message numbers that can occur before a message is declared invalid (see Section 10.4.6). Zeroize - The process of deleting all keys from a compromised subscriber unit to disable it. To make the unit functional again, the keys must be reloaded by a keyloader. Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) - The process of sending new encryption keys over the air using an RF interface. 10.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Programming By Keyloader Currently, EFJohnson 41xx portables and 43xx mobiles that meet the following requirements support OTAR: The following are the minimum parameters that need to be programmed in the radio to perform OTAR. It is not necessary to program a TEK to perform OTAR. If the radio does not contain a TEK, the KMF initiates a warm start-up sequence in which a temporary TEK is transferred to the radio to perform the key transfer.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) • • TEKs and only one is active at a time. Keyset ID 255 is for KEKs and is considered active all the time same as described in Section 10.5. Each keyset can have up to 128 keys. However, 16 or less are normally used. 10.6.3 OTAR OPTION SWITCHES The following additional option switches can be programmed with the 4100 portable and 4300 mobile to control OTAR functions. They are also available as 4100 menu parameters unless noted otherwise.
SECURE COMMUNICATION (ENCRYPTION) Need KEK - Sends a request for a new KEK (Key Encryption Key). Upon receiving this message, the KMF marks the radio as requiring service. One time this function may be selected is if the radio dumps it keys. Rekey Fail - Either the rekey command failed or timed out (after approximately 30 seconds). This message could indicate that the rekey request message was not received by the KMF.
