Finnish public safety network VIRVE inaugurates two high-security Nokia TETRA features
Finnish public safety network VIRVE inaugurates two high-security Nokia TETRA features
December 11, 2003
VIRVE is the first to put TETRA Authentication and Air Interface Encryption into operation
An important milestone in Finland's VIRVE public safety network was reached recently, when two high-security features, Authentication and Air Interface Encryption were brought into operational use, exactly on schedule. "We are proud of the latest addition to the VIRVE's capabilities," says Janne Koivukoski, Director of VIRVE Unit, Ministry of the Interior, Finland. "We have been pioneers in TETRA - the first authentication test in VIRVE was held in April 2001 -- and now we are the first in the world to bring TETRA Authentication and Air Interface Encryption into nationwide operational use." For today's public safety users, high security is essential. In the past, analogue mobile communications systems were notoriously vulnerable - for example, the communications were very easy to intercept. The Authentication and Air Interface Encryption features in Nokia's digital TETRA system use dynamic encryption keys, to protect the network from unauthorized radio users and make eavesdropping impossible. "Security issues are close to our heart," says Matti Peltola, Nokia Networks. "With its TETRA Class 3 encryption interoperability certificate, the Nokia TETRA System fulfils the strictest requirements for communications security in mission-critical radio operations. TETRA Authentication and Air Interface Encryption are excellent examples of features that can bring operational benefits to public safety personnel in their demanding tasks." In TETRA Authentication, the system checks that a radio terminal is authentic and not an illegal clone, thus preventing unauthorized radio users from accessing the system and its services. TETRA Air Interface Encryption hides the contents of the calls and messages that are transmitted on the radio path. The signalling and coded speech sent on the radio path are ciphered using encryption keys and an encryption algorithm. Only authorized recipients have the cipher keys and only they can decode the encrypted speech and signalling. TETRA Air Interface Encryption protects the network against eavesdropping, analysis of traffic patterns, and unauthorized use ...
