1 Scope The present document defines the Terrestrial Trunked Radio system (TETRA) synchronization operation for end-to-end encryption algorithms that employ streaming ciphers for voice. The method defined applies equally to Direct Mode Operation (as defined in EN 300 396 (see bibliography)) and to Trunked Mode Operation (as defined in EN 300 392 (see bibliography)). 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.

4 End-to-end encryption 4.1 Introduction End-to-end encryption algorithms and key management are outside the scope of the present document. This clause describes a standard mechanism for synchronization of the encryption system that may be employed when using a synchronous stream cipher. The mechanism also permits transmission of encryption related and other signalling information. The mechanism shall apply only to U-plane traffic and U-plane signalling. The method described uses the Stealing Channel, STCH, for synchronization during transmission (see EN 300 392-2 [1], clause 23.8.4). NOTE: This mechanism does not apply for self-synchronizing ciphers, or for block ciphers. The following are requirements on the end-to-end encryption mechanism: • the same mechanisms shall apply in both directions; • the synchronization processes shall be independent in each direction; • end-to-end encryption shall be located in the U-plane (above the MAC resident air-interface encryption); • transport of plain text and cipher text shall maintain the timing and ordering of half-slot pairing (half slots shall be restored in the same order and with the same boundary conditions at each end of the link); • the encryption mechanisms described in this clause are valid for one call instance. 4.2 Voice encryption and decryption mechanism Figure 1 shows a functional diagram of the voice encryption and decryption mechanism based on the synchronous stream cipher principle. This demonstrates the symmetry of transmitter and receiver with each side having common encryption units. It is assumed that the encryption unit shall generate a key stream in a similar way to the AI encryption unit. The encryption unit is then termed the End-to-end Key Stream Generator (EKSG). EKSG shall have two inputs, a cipher key and an initialization value. The initialization value should be a time variant parameter (e.g. a sequence number or a timestamp) that is used to initialize synchronization of the encryption units. The output of EKSG shall be a key stream segment termed EKSS. Function F1 shall combine the Plain Text (PT) bit stream and EKSS resulting in an encrypted Cipher Text (CT) bit stream. Function F1-1 shall be the inverse of F1 and shall combine the bit streams CT and EKSS resulting in the decrypted bit stream PT. Function F2 shall replace a half slot of CT with a synchronization frame provided by the "sync co
