Authentication Parameters


Authentication Triplet
Data Stored in the SIM Card
Data Stored in the AuC

Huawei-UET Joint Telecom IT Center

Authentication Triplet

Random challenge (RAND): The RAND is generated by the random
number generator and is used to calculate the other two
parameters in the triplet. It is 16 bytes long.
Signed response (SRES): The SRES is generated through Algorithm
A3 based on RAND and KI. It is used to determine whether the
authentication is passed. It is four bytes long.
Cipher key (KC): The KC is generated through Algorithm A8 based on
RAND and KI. It is used as the cipher key for radio channel
encryption. It is eight bytes long.





Huawei-UET Joint Telecom IT Center

Data Stored in the SIMCard

Embedded data: It contains international mobile subscriber identity
(IMSI), KI, and A3 and A8 (authentication algorithms). These
contents are unchangeable.
Temporary network data: It contains temporary mobile subscriber
identity (TMSI), location area identity (LAI), KC, CKSN, and the
related data of the barred services in the PLMN.




Huawei-UET Joint Telecom IT Center

Data Stored in the AuC
Subscriber data: IMSI, used to identify the mobile subscriber.
KI: Individual subscriber authentication key. It is as same as that
saved in the SIM/USIM card.
K4: Ciphering key of KI, used to encrypt or decrypt the KI. It is eight
bytes long.
Serial number of K4: Index of K4, used to obtain the K4. If the value
is 0, it means that the KI is not encrypted with K4. That is, the
current KI is a decrypted value.
Authentication algorithms (A3 and A8): Used to generate the
encryption and authentication.



Huawei-UET Joint Telecom IT Center

K4 Management

The KI is set for the subscriber authentication.
For the sake of security, encrypt the KI with an encrypted key. In the
HLR9820 system, the key is K4. Before loading the KI, load the
related K4 first.
The KI is usually stored in text format in the disk. Loading KI is
actually to load this file.
When loading a KI, specify the KI text file and the serial number of the K4 used to
encrypt the KI.
