Abstract

See full text

A system for the authentication of mobile stations and base stations in a cellular communications network. The system includes an algorithm which generates not only a key dependent response to a random challenge, but also a temporary conversation key or call variable which may be used to encipher traffic in the network. To protect against clones in the network, the algorithm uses a rolling key which contains historical information. A bilateral authentication procedure may be used to update the rolling key and to generate a new conversation key.
