Encrypted Terminal Policy Transmission for Network Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In new radio technologies, the plaintext transmission of terminal policy information between network devices and terminals poses a risk of exposing privacy information, leading to potential security breaches.
Innovation Solution
The method involves receiving and transmitting terminal policy information in a non-plaintext form, using encrypted or integrity-protected content, to prevent unauthorized access and ensure secure communication between network devices and terminals.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If terminal policy information is transmitted in plaintext form, then transmission simplicity is improved, but security of terminal information is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by transforming the terminal policy information from plaintext form to encrypted form. The network device receives encrypted terminal policy information from the terminal, decrypts it to obtain the original policy information, and then processes it accordingly. This changes the state parameter of the information from unencrypted to encrypted during transmission, resolving the contradiction between transmission simplicity and security.
2Reliability
If encrypted content is used for terminal policy information, then security of terminal information is improved, but processing complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing encryption on the terminal policy information before transmission. The terminal encrypts the policy information using encryption algorithms and key information before sending it to the network device. This preliminary encryption action ensures security during transmission while allowing the network device to handle the encrypted data systematically through predefined decryption and processing procedures.
