Title: Cryptographic architecture for cryptographic permutation
Inventor: MARKKU-JUHANI OLAVI SAARINEN
IPC: H04L9/06
Filed: 2019-07-19
Abstract: A cryptographic architecture 110 is provided with a processor interface 120 comprising a set of registers. The processor interface is accessible by a processing unit 130. The cryptographic architecture also has a cryptographic permutation unit 140 comprising circuitry to perform a cryptographic permutation using data stored within the set of registers. The processing unit instructs the cryptographic permutation unit and accesses a result of the cryptographic permutation using the processor interface. Certain registers may not be visible to the processing unit thus increasing security (i.e. the processing unit need not know how the permutation is being performed). Cryptographic methods and systems are also described, relating to performing cryptographic operations that involve a cryptographic permutation over a number of rounds. The cryptographic permutation unit may perform a KECCAK permutation (or use a Secure Hash Algorithm e.g. SHA-3). The methods and systems may be used to provide cryptographic functions such as hashing, encryption, decryption and random number generation. The discrete unit may be a self-contained security microcontroller supplied as a smart card, USB or RFID device, a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or a Hardware Security Module (HSM). Low power devices (e.g. IoT devices) can offload cryptographic operations to this device.

Title: Management link for multi-link operation
Inventor: JULIEN SEVIN
IPC: H04W48/18
Filed: 2021-06-18
Abstract: ML beacon frames sent by an access point multi-link device AP MLD during ML Discovery report the profiles of all the affiliated APs. This duplication over multiple channels substantially reduces network bandwidth available for data transmission. A management AP amongst the affiliated APs is selected for processing the management and control frames. The ML beacon frames from the management AP convey the profiles of all the affiliated APs, while the other affiliated APs send lighter ML beacon frames that for instance indicate where to find the full ML beacon frames. The ML beacon frames hence signal, using a Link ID, which one of the affiliated APs is the management AP. Upon receiving a light ML beacon frame, the non-AP MLD can configure one of its affiliated non-AP station to communicate with the management AP, and then can switch the association procedure over this management link.
