TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSMITTING FRAMES WITH SECURELY SCRAMBLED PAYLOAD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18231703 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR TRANSMITTING FRAMES WITH SECURELY SCRAMBLED PAYLOAD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes techniques for secure scrambling in a wireless communication system. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

• A first device encrypts a payload to be included in a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame.
• The first device determines the type of PPDU frame based on its association with a second device.
• The first device selects a key based on the association with the second device.
• The first device obfuscates the field of the MAC header.
• The first device scrambles the encrypted payload using a service field value.
• The first device transmits the PPDU frame to the second device.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Wireless communication systems that require secure scrambling of data.
• Secure transmission of sensitive information in wireless networks.
• Protection against unauthorized access and eavesdropping in wireless communication.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Ensures the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted data.
• Prevents unauthorized access and interception of sensitive information.
• Enhances the security of wireless communication systems.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved security and privacy in wireless communication.
• Efficient encryption and scrambling techniques for data protection.
• Enhanced reliability and integrity of transmitted data.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques are directed toward secure scrambling. An example method includes a first device encrypting a payload to be included in a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame. The determining a PPDU frame type based at least in part on an association with a second device. The first device can select a key based at least in part on the association with second device. The first device can encrypt a payload to be included in a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU) frame. The first device can determine a PPDU frame type based at least in part on an association with a second communication device. The first device can obfuscate the field of the MAC header. The first device can scramble the encrypted payload using a service field value. The first device can transmit the PPDU frame to the second device.
