Before calling out, the local device 104 of Fig. 1 must be launched the distant place device 102 of the ESN205 of Fig. 2 to Fig. 1, is used for registration on communication system 100.If do not finish registration, can not call out or receive by local device 104.Emission ESN205 arrives before the distant place device 102, and the device 200 of Fig. 2 is according to the method authentication ESN205 that describes among Fig. 5.Authentication is minimized in to practice fraud in the local device that local device 104 or other be used for communication system 100 uses the chance of ESN205.Contact Fig. 2, the method for Fig. 5 is described hereinafter.Method is realized by the message authentication program 234 that is stored among the masked edit program ROM212.Message authentication program 234 is carried out from masked edit program ROM212 by microprocessor 208.The sequence number that the control of the execution of message authentication program 234 is quoted by preamble is that the scheme that 08/730,188 U.S. Patent application is described is encrypted.
When message authentication program 234 when microprocessor 208 receives the orders of ESN authentication, during the program that powers up of local device 104, method begins (frame 500).Based on the reception of order, message authentication program 234 command processors 208 are read ESN encrypted bits 230 (frame 502) from disposable programmable ROM210.If read binary zero (being that ESN encrypted bits 320 is not programmed), message authentication program 234 is suspended authentication, and indication microprocessor 208 is to prevent registration (frame 504).
If binary one is read (being that ESN encrypted bits 230 has been programmed) in ESN encrypted bits 230, message authentication program 234 proceeds to authentication ESN205.Message authentication program 234 command processors 208 extract ESN205 and MAC207 from EEPROM204, and storage ESN205 and MAC207 are respectively temporary transient ESN236 and temporary transient MAC238 (frame 506) in RAM214.Message authentication program 234 command processors 208 produce new MAC (frame 508) from temporary transient ESN236.New MAC describes and produces the method generation of temporary transient MAC238 during programming with reference to Fig. 4 with the front.That is, authentication arithmetic 400 is from temporary transient ESN236 with add secret key 232 and produce new MAC.
In case produce, message authentication program 234 instructs microprocessor 208 newer MAC and temporary transient MAC238 (frame 510).If new MAC and temporary transient MAC238 do not match, message authentication program 234 indication microprocessors 208 are to prevent registration (frame 504).If new MAC is the same with temporary transient MAC238, ESN205 is by authentication.Message authentication program 234 indication microprocessors 208 are to register and to launch ESN205 to distant place device 102 (frame 512).In case microprocessor 208 is by sign emission ESN205, the method for authentication ESN205 finishes (frame 504).
Though be depicted in the cellular radio, here programming of describing and authentication electronic information also will be used for cordless telephone, two-way radio, trunked radio, beep-pager, personal digital assistant and analog, and used here " device " should represent each of equivalent of these and they.
Though these apparatus and method are illustrated as being encrypted in ESN in the external storage device, person of skill in the art will appreciate that other electronic information can be by similar encryption as the program command that is stored in the microcontroller external ROM.By the program command among the ROM is associated with encryption indicator and the digital certificate information that is stored among the ROM in being contained in microcontroller, and during communicator powers up program, on program command, carry out authentication, undelegatedly programme again and exchange out external ROM and can be prevented from.
Therefore, can see, practice fraud use electronic information,, can be minimized, even when electronic information such as ESN are stored among the memory device of microcontroller integrated circuit outside such as the EEPROM by unencryption as cellular radiotelephone system to obtain access communication system.By use the disposable programmable encrypted bits at microcontroller, the programming again of ESN is prevented from.By use based on produce and need ESN and as the accidental enciphering spoon of the authentication arithmetic of the contact between MAC Electronic dicrimination information, system's access can not be exchanged out EEPROM and reached by the EEPROM that contains different ESN and MAC with another.
