Abstract

A method (500) of generating a cryptographic checksum for a message M(x) is provided. The method comprises pseudo-randomly selecting (502) at least two irreducible polynomials p i (x). Each irreducible polynomial p i (x) is selected based on a first cryptographic key from the set of irreducible polynomials of degree ni over a Galois Field. The method further comprises calculating (503) a generator polynomial p(x) of degree n = formula (I) as a product of the N irreducible polynomials formula (II), and calculating (505) the cryptographic checksum as a first function g of a division of a second function of M(x), (M(x)), modulo p(x), i.e., g( (M(x)) mod p(x)). By replacing a standard checksum, such as a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC), with a cryptographic checksum, an efficient message authentication is provided. The proposed cryptographic checksum may be used for providing integrity assurance on the message, i.e., for detecting random and intentional message changes, with a known level of security. Further, a corresponding computer program, a corresponding computer program product, and a checksum generator for generating a cryptographic checksum, are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method of generating a cryptographic checksum, a corresponding computer program, a corresponding computer program product and a checksum generator for generating a cryptographic checksum. Background technique [0002] Current third generation (3G) and fourth generation (4G) 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) mobile networks typically use encryption as well as authentication in the control plane, while the user plane is only protected by encryption. On the other hand, WiMAX and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) / WiFi networks also use authentication for the user plane. [0003] A known way of securing user plane messaging is to use authentication tags, which are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to the message, such as a Keyed Cryptographic Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) or a Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CBC-MAC). )) and generated. A cryptographic hash function is a hash ...
