Such messages can only be read by entering daily passwords and PINs into the receiver. Multitone have produced two secure paging products:1. Z-Page, which can be used for the transmission of HMG traffic to ‘restricted’ level using a CESG approved algorithm. 2.
9261-6366 iss 2 21/11/02 9:04 am Page 23 Z-Page: Activation and Protection In order to decrypt and display encrypted messages your secure pager needs to be ‘validated’ or loaded with its decryption key before being put into service. Unvalidated pagers can be used for normal paging only. On the Z-Pager validation is performed using a pager programming pocket (P669) connected to the PC which is to be used to send the encrypted messages. Z-Pagers require that a password is entered once each day.
9261-6366 iss 2 21/11/02 9:04 am Page 24 being used for the first time that day then the display will show two blocks of asterisks.

Then press •> and the second asterisk will flash. Use the < and > buttons to select the second digit and enter again by pressing •>.

KeyPage Operation On the KeyPager a randomly generated decryption key is already programmed during production and the key material is loaded from a diskette into the chosen message entry PC.
9261-6366 iss 2 21/11/02 9:04 am Page 26 KeyPage Message Access The KeyPager has no daily password and requires only a PIN to be entered in order to read encrypted messages. An unread encrypted message is indicated on the display by the symbol. To read the message press the < button to reveal the PIN entry screen and enter the number for each asterisk in turn using the < , > and •> buttons.

This requires that a special control code be transmitted to the KeyPager to reset the PIN. A method of verifying the user identity must be agreed with the system administrator who will supply an additional authorisation code which must be entered to restore the PIN.
