Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for performing a security function in a medium access control (MAC) layer in a wireless portable Internet system and an authentication method thereof. In the wireless portable Internet system including a physical layer and the MAC layer, a security sublayer (i.e., the device for performing the security function in the MAC layer) is provided on an MAC common part sublayer. The security sublayer includes a privacy key management (PKM) control management module, a traffic data encryption/authentication module, a control message processing module, a message authentication module, a Rivest Shamir Adleman (RSA)-based authentication module, an authentication control/security association (SA) control module, and an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) encapsulation/decapsulation module.
Abstract:
A device for controlling a voltage of a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a voltage selecting unit that generates a voltage selecting signal for selecting a voltage to be controlled among a plurality of voltages by using a first control signal, a control step selecting unit that generates a control step selection signal for selecting a control step of the voltage to be controlled by using a second control signal, and a voltage controlling unit that controls a level of the voltage to be controlled among the plurality of voltages in response to the control step selection signal.

Abstract:
A semiconductor memory apparatus includes a first pad group located along a first edge of a plurality of banks, a second pad group located along a second edge of the plurality of banks opposite the first pad group, and a pad control section configured to provide first and second bonding signals and to implement control operation in response to a test mode signal and a bonding option signal to selectively employ signals from the first and second pad groups.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a subscriber station security-related parameter negotiation method in a wireless portable Internet system. The subscriber station security-related parameter negotiation method includes security-related parameters in transmitting/receiving basic capability negotiation request messages and basic capability negotiation response messages such that the subscriber station and the base station negotiate the subscriber station security-related parameters. The security-related parameters include an authorization policy support subfield used to negotiate an authorization policy between the subscriber station and the base station, and message authentication code mode subfields used to negotiate a message authentication code mode. The base station can inform the subscriber station that authentication or message authentication is not performed and is omitted according to a service provider policy by writing it on the authorization policy support subfield or message authentication code mode subfield. In addition, the subscriber station and the base station can select an authorization policy formed with at least one combination through the authorization policy support subfield of the security negotiation parameters. According to the present invention, the service provider of the wireless portable Internet system can more efficiently and flexibly manage the system by providing a scheme for omitting an authentication function and a message authentication function as well as for supporting various authorization policies and message authentication functions.
