Abstract
A method of communicating in a secure communication system, comprises the steps of assembling a message at a sender, then determining a frame type, and including an indication of the frame type in a header of the message. The message is then sent to a recipient and the frame type used to perform a policy check.
Claims (17)
1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a first device, a frame from a second device, wherein the frame comprises a header and data, and the header indicates a first minimum security level, and wherein the header comprises a frame type, a key identifier of a key and a key representation of the key, wherein the key identifier and the key representation indicate whether the key is used for broadcast communication or unicast communication, wherein the frame type corresponds to a particular security level;
determining, by the first device, whether the frame is acceptable based on the particular security level corresponding to the frame type included in the header, the first minimum security level indicated by the header, the key identifier included in the header and the key representation included in the header, wherein the determining whether the frame is acceptable comprises comparing the first minimum security level indicated by the header with the particular security level corresponding to the frame type in the header.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an authentication level.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an encryption level.
4. A first device, comprising:
at least one hardware processor; and
a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to the at least one hardware processor and storing programming instructions for execution by the at least one hardware processor, wherein the programming instructions, when executed, cause the first device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a frame from a second device, wherein the frame comprises a header and data, and the header indicates a first minimum security level, and wherein the header comprises a frame type, a key identifier of a key and a key representation of the key, wherein the key identifier and the key representation indicate whether the key is used for broadcast communication or unicast communication, wherein the frame type corresponds to a particular security level; and
determining whether the frame is acceptable based on the particular security level corresponding to the frame type included in the header, the first minimum security level indicated by the header, the key identifier included in the header and the key representation included in the header, wherein the determining whether the frame is acceptable comprises comparing the first minimum security level indicated by the header with the particular security level corresponding to the frame type in the header.
5. The first device of claim 4 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an authentication level.
6. The first device of claim 4 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an encryption level.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed, cause a first device to perform operations comprising:
receiving a frame from a second device, wherein the frame comprises a header and data, and the header indicates a first minimum security level, and wherein the header comprises a frame type, a key identifier of a key and a key representation of the key, wherein the key identifier and the key representation indicate whether the key is used for broadcast communication or unicast communication, wherein the frame type corresponds to a particular security level; and
determining whether the frame is acceptable based on the particular security level corresponding to the frame type included in the header, the first minimum security level indicated by the header, the key identifier included in the header and the key representation included in the header, wherein the determining whether the frame is acceptable comprises comparing the first minimum security level indicated by the header with the particular security level corresponding to the frame type in the header.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an authentication level.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the first minimum security level comprises an encryption level.
