Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods are provided for encrypting and decrypting information having a header portion and a body portion. The decrypting method includes the steps of reading a current month from a clock, extracting an odd/even month indication from the header portion, generating a first key based on the current month if the odd/even indication is odd and the current month is odd or if the odd/even indication is even and the current month is even, otherwise generating the first key based on a month previous to the current month read from the clock if the odd/even indication is odd and the current month is even or if the odd/even indication is even and the current month is odd, and using the first key for decrypting the encrypted body portion to generate a decrypted body portion.
