Abstract: A base station in a communications network broadcasts a cell-specific instruction to a plurality of mobile terminals in a cell served by the base station. The cell-specific instruction indicates that an uplink symbol has been semi-statically configured for aperiodic sounding reference signal (SRS) transmission over multiple subsequent subframes. The base station dynamically determines that a first mobile terminal of the plurality of mobile terminals is to use the uplink symbol for SRS transmission in a given one of the multiple subsequent subframes. In response, the base station signals a first terminal-specific instruction to the first mobile terminal. The first terminal-specific instruction is distinct from the cell-specific instruction and indicates that the first mobile terminal is to use the uplink symbol for SRS transmission in the given subframe.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a scrambled counter mode encryption for a device that mitigates the effect of side channel attacks based on differential power analysis (DPA). The scrambled counter mode encryption engine creates noise at the start of the encryption process by obfuscating the counter value with the use of the very fast mixing function, such as a mixing function based on a XOR tree, substitution-permutation networks, or double-mix Feistel networks. The mixing function uses some secret key material, which diversifies its behavior between different instantiations. Because the counter values are scrambled and the mixing functions operate very fast in parallel hardware, the input of the block cipher is pseudorandom and groups of blocks can't be correlated. The output of the block cipher is XORed with a plaintext message to obtain a cipher text message.

Abstract: Innovations in the construction and use of variable-input-length tweakable ciphers (“VILTCs”). In some cases, a VILTC uses an initialization vector that is protected from exposure outside an encryption/decryption system in order to provide enhanced security with efficient performance. For example, a system for encryption and/or decryption includes two fixed-input-length tweakable block ciphers (“FIL TBCs”) and a VILTC. The first FIL TBC is adapted to produce a fixed-length initialization vector. The VILTC is adapted to produce a variable-length output string using the fixed-length initialization vector as a tweak. The second FIL TBC is adapted to produce a fixed-length output string. In this way, the first FIL TBC and the second FIL TBC protect the fixed-length initialization vector from exposure outside the system. In other cases, a VILTC is used for a reliable and efficient implementation of authenticated encryption/decryption with associated data.
