Abstract
A processing module for a communication device includes memory for storing a key and processing elements. These elements receive a current sequence number and a random number from a network entity, and check if the current sequence number is within a range based on a previously received sequence number stored in memory. If not, they generate a sequence number encryption key from the random number and stored key, encrypt the previously received sequence number using a block cipher encryption function, and send the encrypted sequence number in a response message to the network entity.
