Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for paging message encryption and decryption is shown and described. Paging messages may be encrypted at their source or by the paging system and delivered by radio signal in secure fashion to a paging system for delivery to a remote radio signal receiving paging device. Advantageously, certain paging device hardware and software resources are used to both detect transmission errors and to decrypt paging messages.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
In a radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, the method comprising the steps of: generating a CRC data word by feeding data from the output port of said shift register to the input of said CRC generator, and decoding data by loading said CRC generator with a first seed word, loading said shift register with a second seed word and exclusive ORing data from the output of said CRC generator with encrypted data.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
In a radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, the method comprising the steps of: generating a CRC data word by feeding data from the output port of said shift register to the input of said CRC generator, and decoding data by loading said CRC generator with a first seed word, loading said shift register with a second seed word and exclusive ORing data from the output of said CRC generator with encrypted data.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
99 words
A radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, said dual purpose circuitry being capable of performing both error correction and decryption, said dual purpose circuitry comprising, first means connecting said output port of said shift register to said input of said CRC generator to generate a CRC check number, second means performing an Exclusive OR operation between data at the output of said CRC generator and encrypted message data.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
99 words
A radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, said dual purpose circuitry being capable of performing both error correction and decryption, said dual purpose circuitry comprising, first means connecting said output port of said shift register to said input of said CRC generator to generate a CRC check number, second means performing an Exclusive OR operation between data at the output of said CRC generator and encrypted message data.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The device recited in claim 2 wherein said CRC generator comprises a plurality of shift registers connected by exclusive OR circuits.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
126 words
In a radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, the method comprising the steps of: generating a CRC check word by feeding data from the output port of said shift register to the input of said CRC generator, and decoding data by loading said CRC generator with a first seed word, loading said shift register with a second seed word and exclusive ORing data from the output of said CRC generator with encrypted data, whereby said CRC generator and said shift register are used both for generating a CRC check word and for decoding encrypted data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
126 words
In a radio paging receiver which includes dual purpose circuitry, said dual purpose circuitry including a CRC generator, and a shift register which sequentially supplies bits to an output port, said CRC generator having an input and an output, the method comprising the steps of: generating a CRC check word by feeding data from the output port of said shift register to the input of said CRC generator, and decoding data by loading said CRC generator with a first seed word, loading said shift register with a second seed word and exclusive ORing data from the output of said CRC generator with encrypted data, whereby said CRC generator and said shift register are used both for generating a CRC check word and for decoding encrypted data.
