Abstract
A system may generate from a first value, based on rounding information, a first security key that matches a second security key whenever the first value and a second value from which the second security key is generated differ by less than a non-zero predetermined amount. The second security key may be generated from the second value rounded to a multiple of a rounding interval that is nearest to the second value. The rounding information may include a rounding direction indication. The rounding direction indication may indicate the direction in which the second value is rounded to the multiple of the rounding interval nearest to the second value.
