9.7.1.1 MMH[16,s,1]
For the remainder of this clause 9.7, MMH[16,s,1] is denoted by H. In addition to s words of input, H also takes as input a key of s words. When H is used in computing the MMH-MAC, the key is randomly generated and remains fixed for several inputs as described in clause 9.7.2. The key is denoted by k and the ith word o...

9.7.1.2 MMH[16,s,2]
This clause describes the MMH Function with an output length of two words, which in this case is 32 bits. For convenience, let H' = MMH[16,s,2]. H' takes a key of s + 1 words. Let k = k1,…,ks+1. Furthermore, define k(1) to be the s words of k starting with k1, i.e. k(1) = k1,…,ks. Define k(2) to be the s words of k, st...

9.7.2 The MMH-MAC
This clause describes the MMH-MAC. The MMH-MAC has three parameters; the word size, the number of words of input, and the number of words of output. MMH-MAC[ω,s,t] specifies the message authentication code with word size ω, s input words and t output words. For IPCablecom the wordsize is fixed to 16 bits: ω = 16. The n...

103 161-9
9.7.2.2 Handling Variable-Size Data
In order to handle data of all possible sizes up to a maximum value, the following rules must be followed for computing an MMH function: • If the data is not a multiple of the word size, pad the data up to a multiple of the word size (16-bits) with zero- bytes. In other words, if the length of message m is not a multip...

9.8 Random Number Generation
Good random number generation is vital to most cryptographic mechanisms. Implementations should do their best to produce true-random seeds; they should also use cryptographically strong pseudo-random number generation algorithms. RFC 1750 [44] gives some suggestions; other possibilities include use of a per-MTA secret ...

10.2 MTA Key Encapsulation
As stated in the previous clause, FIPS PUB 140-2 Security Level 1 specifies very little actual physical security and that an MTA must deter unauthorized "physical" access to its keying material. This restricted access also includes any ability to directly read the keying material using any of the MTA interfaces. One of...

The compliant chipset shall support a specific cryptographic challenge/response. The specifics of the challenge/response modes are described in the four following points: 1. The compliant chipset shall receive the Vendor ID, Ek3(K2), and a 128-bit nonce via the driver API interface. 2. The compliant chipset shall produ...

6.1.3 Key Ladder Ciphers
The chipset shall support performing all decryptions in the key ladder and challenge-response mechanism using both: • AES-128; and • Triple DES (TDES). The selection of which cipher to use will be controlled by the driver API interface. Only AES-128 or TDES will be used for a root key to CW derivation chain. However, t...

6.1.4 CW Alignment
When the CW is only 64 bits, the value of the CW will reside in the 64 left-most (highest) bits of the decrypted Ek1(CW). This is true whether the key ladder is operating in AES or TDES mode.

6.2 Time Constraints
The time from loading the entire key ladder (loading Vendor ID, Ekn(Kn-1), …, Ek3(K2), Ek2(K1), Ek1(CW)) to the beginning of decryption of video shall be less than 1 ms.

6.3 Driver API
The drivers executing within the main CPU of the sink device are not specified in the present document because they are platform and industry-specific. The specific driver API may be obtained from the Trusted Authority upon request.

6.4 Secret Chipset Key Obfuscation
The value physically stored in the OTP shall not be SCK itself. Rather, it should be the result of performing an invertible secret function on the ESCK, the value physically stored in the chipset's OTP. Where feasible, this function should be different in every chipset model. An ILA could provide a secret function upon...

8.2 Additional Key Levels
The key ladder described above is referred to as a three-level key ladder composed of three Ki = Dki-1(EKi) operations. The compliant chipset vendor is permitted to build a ladder with more than three levels as long as the time constraints of Clause 6.2 Time Constraints, and certain security requirements detailed below...

8.3 Additional Security Operations
It may be desirable for some chipsets to perform additional operations with keys or values derived from SCK, Kn, or other approved key ladder keys. Approval of such uses will be determined solely by Industry Licensing Authority (ILAs) and their specific security and robustness requirements. In general, a safe approach ...

1 Scope
The present document defines the system architecture for the use of spectrum by White Space Devices (WSDs), specifically in the UHF TV Bands. The architecture stems from ETSI TS 102 946 [1]. The scope of the present document is to define the architecture of a system which can allow operation of WSDs based on informatio...

4.2.1.1 Overview
Spectrum coordination is the mechanism with which an SC serves CRSs so that they can operate efficiently in available spectrum resources of white spaces. The SC coordinates how to manage radio resources among a set of CRSs that are potentially interfering with each other (coexistence) and allows for channel assignment ...

4.2.1.2 Information service
For CRSs that are subscribed to the information service, an SC provides information about useful operational parameters (e.g. the operational parameters of other CRS in the available spectrum resources). In the information service, an SC does not make decision on the operational parameters to be used by those CRSs, but...

4.2.1.3 Management service
For CRSs that are subscribed to the management service, a SC provides the operational parameters to be used by a CRS based on its requests and, potentially, certain QoS and usage time requirements. A CRS does not make any decision for its operational parameters (e.g. channel and transmit power) but they are determined ...
