Electronic sealing for electronic transactions

A sealing method and system based on any data originator authentication mechanism involves an originator (10) which represents the entity requiring the data to be sealed and to have itself identified as the originator of the sealed data. The relying party (12) is an entity requiring to use the sealed data as proof relating to a transaction. The seal provider (14) is an entity trusted to provide seals by the originator and relying parties. The procedure for creating a seal is as follows: the originator creates a hash value or other one-way representation of the data to be sealed. The originator then sends the hash value with a seal request through a secure channel which authenticates the originator to the seal provider and ensures the integrity of the request. The seal provider then determines if the authentication of the request is correct and, if so, creates a seal which contains an identifier for the originator, the time of the request, the hash value and a digital signature or other ...

Stream encryption of concatenated short data//message service (SDS/SMS) messages

A long message (ie too long to be transmitted as a single SDS/SMS) is stored in buffer 23. The initial portion of the message is transferred to secure buffer 25, which typically holds a single SDS/SMS worth of data. A partial cryptographic check-sum (PCCS) is taken of this data 26 and combined with a pseudo-random number 27 to form a cryptographic message header which is output to buffer 32 and used as an initialisation vector (IV) for stream encryption 28. The whole message is then stream encrypted 28 using the IV from 27 and secret key from 30 and the result stored in buffer 32. The secure module 24 also generates a full cryptographic check sequence (FCCS) 29 of the message and appends it in buffer 32. The encrypted message, header and FCCS in buffer 32 is then fragmented into SDS/SMS size segments and inserted into the payload of individual messages for transmission. The receiver concatenated the message payloads to reassemble the encrypted message, which is then decrypted.
