Title: Signal authentication system and method
Inventor: Nigel Clement Davies
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 2020-07-23
Abstract: A transmitter and/or receiver of the invention comprises of a system for encoding or decoding respectively an authentication signal comprising of an open CDMA signal in which a portion of the chips forming it are replaced with chips at cryptographically derived positions in the CDMA sequence. Thus, a suitably authorised receiver receiving such an encoded authorisation signal, and adapted to decode the cryptographically derived positions is able to generate a correlation with its own internal modified reference signal that proves the identity of the transmitted signal, whilst unauthorised receiver is able to correlate any unmodified chips with its open internal reference. The proportion of chips altered is preferably chosen to allow an unauthenticated receiver to successfully recover the receive signal. An authorised receiver may be adapted to correlate using both a modified reference code, and an open reference code, and compare the results.
