Description

Communication security Enhancement Method, Apparatus and system
Technical field
The embodiment of the invention relates to communication technical field, relates in particular to a kind of communication security Enhancement Method, Apparatus and system.
Background technology
Along with development of Communication Technique, (Global System for Mobilecommunication GSM) becomes global most widely used cellular mobile system to global system for mobile communications, and its fail safe has also been proposed more and more higher requirement; Before, GSM safety is identical with the fixed line safe class, has only the part of eating dishes without rice or wine of gsm system protected, and other part of system is transparent; Two kinds of protection mechanisms of access network realize with stoping without permission by the individual privacy of protection user in the protection of the part of eating dishes without rice or wine; wherein; the individual privacy of the user of the part of eating dishes without rice or wine grants asylum by encryption; but; only encrypt when mobile phone and after the network terminal authentication, just begin; GSM is by (Temporary MobileSubscriber Identity TMSI) protects user's identity, and this temporary identity was used for differentiating mobile phone before encrypting beginning to the handset allocation temporary identity in advance.In case call out encryptedly, being used for the temporary identity called out next time just can safe replacing; In addition; stoping without permission, access network can utilize Subscriber Identity Module (Subscriber Identity Module; SIM) safety verification is protected; network terminal authentication SIM carries out when radio communication begins between mobile phone and network terminal; after mobile phone self is carried out authentication (by sending temporary identity); authentication process of network terminal initialization; this process is a request-response scheme based on wildcard between mobile phone and the network terminal basically; in this scheme, the cryptographic algorithm of levying use of testing mutually between mobile phone and the network terminal is A5/1.But the outlet of A5/1 is strict control, along with the growth of the GSM network beyond the Europe, needs a kind of cryptographic algorithm of No way out restriction, so a new cryptographic algorithm A5/2 issues out, the design of two kinds of algorithms is all unexposed; Meanwhile, the version A5/3 that another one is new joins in the middle of the A5 algorithm family, and different with A5/1 and A5/2 is, its indoor design is disclosed, and A5/3 is based on the design of KASUMI block cipher algorithm, and this algorithm uses in the 3G (Third Generation) Moblie network.
Existing in the audio call of GSM, base station and mobile phone are finished the foundation of audio call by a series of Signalling exchange, the signaling that wherein sends before encrypted command sends with the unencrypted form, and signaling after encrypted command and business datum are to send with the form of encrypting, after authentication process finishes, mobile device (MS) will send an encrypted command to base station controller (BSC), BSC then sends " encryption mode order (Ciphering Mode Command; CMC) " to MS on main signaling link indicates whether to adopt and encrypts, " CMC " message is the message of the article one from MS to BSC through encrypting in the calling procedure, wherein, International Mobile Station Equipment Identification sign indicating number (International Mobile EquipmentIdentity, IMEI) be optional cell, when only the encrypted response field of encrypted response cell is set to 1 (IMEISV shall be included) in CMC, MS just can comprise IMEI information in CIPHERING MODE COMPLETE, otherwise, encryption mode is finished and is only comprised three essential cells in the message body, amount to 2 bytes, other 18 untapped bytes fixedly are filled to 0x2B in the message blocks.
The inventor states on the implementation in the process of scheme and finds: because essential cell all has clear and definite explanation in agreement, therefore, finish when not carrying optional cell Mobile Equipment Identity in the message in encryption, message content all can be guessed the assailant.Do not carry that in the encryption mode of optional cell 2 bytes to be arranged are essential cells, other 18 bytes are fixing fills with " 2B ", it is to encrypt the back to send that message is finished in encryption, if the assailant has guessed these message, so he just can to form bright ciphertext according to the plaintext of guessing and the ciphertext of having collected right, utilize then bright ciphertext between relation finish known plain text attack; In addition, when even if the not every bit assailant of the message of eating dishes without rice or wine to send can both guess out, if the undetermined bit number in the inside is fewer, the assailant also can adopt exhaustive method to carry out known plain text attack so, for example have only N bit assailant unclear in the message, the assailant only need carry out attacking the known plain text attack just can finish this message for 2^N time so, and when N was smaller, its operand was that present field programmable gate array (FPGA) can bear; And along with the continual renovation of new unit, the calculation process ability of FPGA is more and more stronger, adopts known plain text attack to crack GSM A5/1 algorithm and becomes possible day by day, and this has seriously influenced the fail safe of eating dishes without rice or wine of GSM; And adopt the A5/3 cryptographic algorithm of upgrading among the GSM can promote the fail safe of GSM, but a large amount of mobile phone and equipment on the existing network is not because the A5/3 algorithm is all also supported in the restriction of hardware, software, therefore, need under the prerequisite that does not change the A5/1 algorithm, promote the fail safe of GSM.
