Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) - Direct Mode Operation (DMO) - Part 6: Security
To update 396-6 to describe an ENDIS capability and to describe an address confidentiality mechanism for the presence signal of gateways and repeaters incorporating the effects of multiple network use on DMO key management.
The present document defines the Terrestrial Trunked Radio system (TETRA) Direct Mode of operation. It specifies the basic Air Interface (AI), the interworking between Direct Mode Groups via Repeaters and interworking with the TETRA Trunked system via Gateways. It also specifies the security aspects in TETRA Direct Mode and the intrinsic services that are supported in addition to the basic bearer and teleservices. The present document describes the security mechanisms in TETRA Direct Mode. It provides mechanisms for confidentiality of control signalling and user speech and data at the AI. It also provided some implicit authentication as a member of a group by knowledge of a shared secret encryption key. The use of AI encryption gives both confidentiality protection against eavesdropping, and some implicit authentication.

Not applicable. 3 Definitions and abbreviations 3.1 Definitions For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply: air interface encryption state: status of encryption in a call (on or off) call transaction: all of the functions associated with a complete unidirectional transmission of information during a call NOTE: A call is made up of one or more call transactions. In a simplex call these call transactions are sequential. (See EN 300 396-3 [5]). carrier number: integer, N, used in TETRA to represent the frequency of the RF carrier
NOTE: See TS 100 392-15 [6]. cipher key: value that is used to determine the transformation of plain text to cipher text in a cryptographic algorithm cipher text: data produced through the use of encipherment NOTE: The semantic content of the resulting data is not available (ISO 7498-2 [2]). decipherment: reversal of a corresponding reversible encipherment
NOTE: See ISO 7498-2 [2]. Direct Mode Operation (DMO): mode of simplex operation where mobile subscriber radio units may communicate using radio frequencies which may be monitored by, but which are outside the control of, the TETRA TMO network NOTE: DM operation is performed without intervention of any base station. (See EN 300 396-3 [5]). DMO-net: number of DMO MSs communicating together and using common cryptographic parameters encipherment: cryptographic transformation of data to produce cipher text NOTE: See ISO 7498-2 [2]. encryption cipher key: cipher key used as input to the KSG, derived from an address specific cipher key and randomly varied per channel using algorithm TB6 end-to-end encryption: encryption within or at the source end system, with the corresponding decryption occurring only within or at the destination end system explicit authentication: transaction initiated and completed specifically to demonstrate knowledge of a shared secret where the secret is not revealed implicit authentication: authenticity demonstrated by proof of knowledge of a shared secret where that demonstration is a by-product of another function key stream: pseudo random stream of symbols that is generated by a KSG for encipherment and decipherment Key Stream Generator (KSG): cryptographic algorithm which produces a stream of binary digits which can be used for encipherment and decipherment NOTE: The initial state of the KSG is determined by the initialization value.
SIST EN 300 396-6 V1.4.1:2010
ETSI ETSI EN 300 396-6 V1.4.1 (2010-07) 8 Key Stream Segment (KSS): key stream of arbitrary length plain text: unencrypted source data NOTE: The semantic content is available. proprietary algorithm: algorithm which is the intellectual property of a legal entity SCK-set: collective term for the group of 32 SCKs associated with each Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity SCK-subset: collection of SCKs from an SCK-set, with SCKNs in numerical sequence, where every SCK in the subset is associated with one or more different GSSIs NOTE: Multiple SCK subsets have corresponding SCKs associated with the same GSSIs. Static Cipher Key (SCK): predetermined cipher key that may be used to provide confidentiality in class DM-2-A, DM-2-B and DM-2-C systems with a corresponding algorithm synchronization value: sequence of symbols that is transmitted to the receiving terminal to synchronize the KSG in the receiving terminal with the KSG in the transmitting terminal synchronous stream cipher: encryption method in which a cipher text symbol completely represents the corresponding plain text symbol NOTE: The encryption is based on a key stream that is independent of the cipher text. In order to synchronize the KSGs in the transmitting and the receiving terminal synchronization data is transmitted separately. TETRA algorithm: mathematical description of a cryptographic process used for either of the security processes authentication or encryption Trunked Mode Operation (TMO): operations of TETRA specified in EN 300 392-2 [1] 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: ACK ACKnowledgement AI Air Interface CK Cypher Key CN Carrier Number DM Direct Mode DMAC Direct Mode Media Access Control DMC A layer 2 Service Access Point (DMC-SAP) DMCC Direct Mode Call Control DMO Direct Mode Operation DSB Direct Mode Synchronisation Burst ECK Encryption Cipher Key EDSI Encrypted Direct-mode Short Identity EDSI-URTC Encrypted DMO Short Identity-Usage Restriction Type Confidentiality EUIV EDSI-URTC Initialisation Vector FN Frame Number GSSI Group Short Subscriber Identity GTSI Group TETRA Subscriber Identity KAG Key Association Group KSG Key Stream Generator KSS Key Stream Segment MAC Medium Access Control MDE Message Dependent Elements MNI Mobile Network Identity MS Mobile Station OTAR Over The Air Rekeying PDU Protocol Data Unit PICS Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement REP REPeater SIST EN 300 396-6 V1.4.1:2010

DMO security offers 4 classes defined in table 4.1. NOTE: DMO offers equivalence to TMO security class 1 (no encryption enabled) and to TMO security class 2 (SCK encryption supported).
Table 4.1: Direct Mode security class DMO security class Remark DM-1 No encryption applied. DM-2-A The DM-SDU and any related traffic is AI encrypted. Addresses are not encrypted. DM-2-B The destination address (SSI), DM-SDU and any related traffic are AI encrypted. DM-2-C In the DMAC-SYNC PDU, the PDU is encrypted from destination address element and onwards except for source address type element, and any related traffic is AI encrypted. In the DMAC-DATA PDU, the PDU is encrypted from the destination address type element and onwards. NOTE 1: Except in DMAC-DATA PDUs for class DM-2-C the destination and source address type elements are never encrypted. NOTE 2: DM-1 is considered the lowest level of security.
NOTE 3: DM-2-A through DM-2-B to DM-2-C provide progressively increased levels of security by encrypting more of the signalling content.
The security class is identified in DMAC-SYNC PDUs by the AI encryption state element (see table 4.2). SIST EN 300 396-6 V1.4.1:2010

1 Scope
The present document defines the Terrestrial Trunked Radio system (TETRA) Direct Mode of operation. It specifies the
basic Air Interface (AI), the interworking between Direct Mode Groups via Repeaters and interworking with the
TETRA Trunked system via Gateways. It also specifies the security aspects in TETRA Direct Mode and the intrinsic
services that are supported in addition to the basic bearer and teleservices.
The present document describes the security mechanisms in TETRA Direct Mode. It provides mechanisms for
confidentiality of control signalling and user speech and data at the AI. It also provided some implicit authentication as
a member of a group by knowledge of a shared secret encryption key.
The use of AI encryption gives both confidentiality protection against eavesdropping, and some implicit authentication.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
air interface encryption state: status of encryption in a call (on or off)
call transaction: all of the functions associated with a complete unidirectional transmission of information during a call
NOTE: A call is made up of one or more call transactions. In a simplex call these call transactions are sequential.
(See EN 300 396-3 [5]).
carrier number: integer, N, used in TETRA to represent the frequency of the RF carrier
NOTE: See TS 100 392-15 [6].
cipher key: value that is used to determine the transformation of plain text to cipher text in a cryptographic algorithm
cipher text: data produced through the use of encipherment
NOTE: The semantic content of the resulting data is not available (ISO 7498-2 [2]).
decipherment: reversal of a corresponding reversible encipherment
NOTE: See ISO 7498-2 [2].
Direct Mode Operation (DMO): mode of simplex operation where mobile subscriber radio units may communicate
using radio frequencies which may be monitored by, but which are outside the control of, the TETRA TMO network
NOTE: DM operation is performed without intervention of any base station. (See EN 300 396-3 [5]).
DMO-net: number of DMO MSs communicating together and using common cryptographic parameters
encipherment: cryptographic transformation of data to produce cipher text
NOTE: See ISO 7498-2 [2].
encryption cipher key: cipher key used as input to the KSG, derived from an address specific cipher key and randomly
varied per channel using algorithm TB6
end-to-end encryption: encryption within or at the source end system, with the corresponding decryption occurring
only within or at the destination end system

8 Final draft ETSI EN 300 396-6 V1.4.0 (2010-02)
explicit authentication: transaction initiated and completed specifically to demonstrate knowledge of a shared secret
where the secret is not revealed
implicit authentication: authenticity demonstrated by proof of knowledge of a shared secret where that demonstration
is a by-product of another function
key stream: pseudo random stream of symbols that is generated by a KSG for encipherment and decipherment
Key Stream Generator (KSG): cryptographic algorithm which produces a stream of binary digits which can be used
for encipherment and decipherment
NOTE: The initial state of the KSG is determined by the initialization value.
Key Stream Segment (KSS): key stream of arbitrary length
plain text: unencrypted source data
NOTE: The semantic content is available.
proprietary algorithm: algorithm which is the intellectual property of a legal entity
SCK-set: collective term for the group of 32 SCKs associated with each Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity
SCK-subset: collection of SCKs from an SCK-set, with SCKNs in numerical sequence, where every SCK in the subset
is associated with one or more different GSSIs
NOTE: Multiple SCK subsets have corresponding SCKs associated with the same GSSIs.
Static Cipher Key (SCK): predetermined cipher key that may be used to provide confidentiality in class DM-2-A,
DM-2-B and DM-2-C systems with a corresponding algorithm
synchronization value: sequence of symbols that is transmitted to the receiving terminal to synchronize the KSG in the
receiving terminal with the KSG in the transmitting terminal
synchronous stream cipher: encryption method in which a cipher text symbol completely represents the
corresponding plain text symbol
NOTE: The encryption is based on a key stream that is independent of the cipher text. In order to synchronize the
KSGs in the transmitting and the receiving terminal synchronization data is transmitted separately.
TETRA algorithm: mathematical description of a cryptographic process used for either of the security processes
authentication or encryption
Trunked Mode Operation (TMO): operations of TETRA specified in EN 300 392-2 [1]
