Basics of Communication Security<br />

• A cryptographic concept uses a “codification”<br />

and a key<br />

– 2001: Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick:<br />

computer name was “HAL”<br />

(every clever person recognized that<br />

this computer is better than “IBM”)<br />

– You cannot “decrypt” without a key<br />

– Cryptographic operations are generally processed inside secure<br />

cryptographic modules<br />

• Every central and non-central component is equipped with<br />

its own key(s):<br />

– <strong>The</strong> same equipment (OBU for instance) has different keys to talk with<br />

different systems<br />

• Central systems use their own specific „master-keys“:<br />

– With a master-key, a central system can talk to different decentralized<br />

equipment<br />

Master Key<br />

Individual Keys<br />

• Non-central components store and use their keys in smartcards.<br />
