IS-54 and IS-136: TDMA
IS-54 and IS-136 are standards for TDMA American Digital Cellular.
| Mobile Frequency Range | Rx: 869-894; Tx: 824-849 |
| Multiple Access Method | TDMA/FDM |
| Duplex Method | FDD |
| Number of Channels | 832 (3 users per channel) |
| Channel Spacing | 30Khz |
| Modulation | DQPSK |
| Channel Bit Rate | 48.6Kb |
IS-54 and IS-136: TDMA Security
IS-54 and IS-136 use the CAVE (Cellular Authentication, Voice Privacy and Encryption) algorithm for authentication and the CMEA (Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm) for encryption.
CAVE and CMEA are documented in Common Cryptographic Algorithms and Interface Specification for Common Cryptographic Algorithms.
David Wagner, Bruce Schneier and John Kelsey published Cryptanalysis of the Cellular Message Encryption Algorithm, which documents deep flaws in the CMEA algorithm.

- iDEN (Integrated Digital Enhanced Network)
An IDEN, or Integrated Dispatch Enhanced Network, is a radio service provided by some mobile telephones that allows subscribers to talk to nearby subscribers who have similar phones without dialing their individual numbers. IDENs are often provided as a free service on modern mobile phones, such as Nextel, or as a premium service that can [...]...
- CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol)
CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol) is the preferred encryption protocol in the 802.11i standard. CCMP Cryptography CCMP is based upon the CCM mode of the AES encryption algorithm. CCMP utilizes 128-bit keys, with a 48-bit initialization vector (IV) for replay detection. The Components of CCMP The Counter Mode (CM) [...]...
- SCM: Station Class Mark
The SCM (Station Class Mark) is a 4 bit number which holds three different pieces of information. Your cellular telephone transmits this information (and more) to the cell tower. Bit 1 of the SCM tells the cell tower whether your cellphone uses the older 666 channel cellular system, or the newer 832 channel cellular system. [...]...
