METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SELECTIVE USER PLANE SECURITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18092690 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR SELECTIVE USER PLANE SECURITY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a security processing method for data packets in a communication protocol. Here are the key points:
- The method receives data packets and analyzes the header information of each packet.
- It determines the length of each header and checks if a security header is present.
- The method identifies the packets with a security header.
- It encrypts only the headers with a security header, based on their determined lengths.
- The encrypted headers, along with their encryption length, are added to the packet's header.
- The encrypted data packets are then transmitted to a lower layer.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Secure communication protocols in various industries such as telecommunications, internet of things (IoT), and data centers.
- Protection of sensitive data during transmission, ensuring privacy and preventing unauthorized access.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures the security of data packets by selectively encrypting headers with security information, reducing processing overhead.
- Allows for efficient encryption and transmission of data packets in a layered communication protocol.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved security: Only headers with security information are encrypted, reducing computational load and improving efficiency.
- Enhanced privacy: Encryption of sensitive header information ensures the confidentiality of data during transmission.
- Efficient processing: Selective encryption reduces processing overhead, enabling faster transmission of data packets.
Original Abstract Submitted
An example security processing method includes receiving data packets at a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer from an upper layer and parsing header information of each of the data packets to determine a length of each of the plurality of headers within the corresponding header information and whether a security header is present or absent in the corresponding data packets. The method further includes identifying corresponding header information of the data packets in which the security header is present based on the determination. The method further includes encrypting, based on the determined header lengths, only each of the plurality of headers of the identified corresponding header information in which the security header is present, and thereafter transmitting the one or more data packets to a lower layer after adding information regarding each of the encrypted headers along with their encryption length into a PDCP header.
