ENCRYPTING DISCOVERY MESSAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18165269 titled 'ENCRYPTING DISCOVERY MESSAGES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium for encrypting discovery messages.

• The invention involves encrypting discovery messages using ciphering and scrambling techniques.
• The discovery message is ciphered based on a ciphering key, ciphering algorithm, or a first set of time parameters.
• The discovery message is also scrambled based on a scrambling key, scrambling algorithm, or a second set of time parameters.
• The method includes descrambling the discovery message using the scrambling key, scrambling algorithm, or the second set of time parameters.
• The method also includes deciphering the discovery message using the ciphering key, ciphering algorithm, or the first set of time parameters.

Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable storage medium for encrypting discovery messages are provided. An example method at a first UE may include obtaining a discovery message that is ciphered based on at least one of a ciphering key, a ciphering algorithm, or a first set of time parameters, where the discovery message is scrambled based on at least one of a scrambling key, a scrambling algorithm, or a second set of time parameters. An example method may also include descrambling the discovery message based on at least one of the scrambling key, the scrambling algorithm, or the second set of time parameters. An example method may also include deciphering the discovery message based on at least one of the ciphering key, the ciphering algorithm, or the first set of time parameters.
