Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is provided a method for verifying an emergency text message, performed by a base station, the method may comprise receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Resume Request message from a mobile communication terminal in an inactive state that has received a broadcast message related to an emergency text message, establishing an RRC connection with the mobile communication terminal, receiving a message including a hash value from the mobile communication terminal with which the RRC connection has been established, verifying validity of the hash value included in the received message, and transmitting a message including information indicating receipt of a false emergency text message to the mobile communication terminal when the hash value included in the received message is determined to be invalid.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for verifying an emergency text message, performed by a base station, the method comprising: receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Resume Request message from a mobile communication terminal in an inactive state that has received a broadcast message related to an emergency text message; establishing an RRC connection with the mobile communication terminal; receiving a message including a first hash value from the mobile communication terminal with which the RRC connection has been established; verifying validity of the first hash value included in the received message; transmitting a message including information indicating receipt of a false emergency text message to the mobile communication terminal when the first hash value included in the received message is determined to be invalid, wherein the first hash value of a System Information Block (SIB) or a Master Information Block (MIB) is calculated by the mobile communication terminal and included in the message, and wherein the verifying the validity of the first hash value comprises: identifying a SIB or a MIB related to the broadcast message; calculating a second hash value for the identified SIB or MIB; and determining that the first hash value included in the received message is valid when it matches the second hash value; and transmitting a message including information indicating receipt of a legitimate emergency text message to the communication terminal, when the first hash value included in the received message is determined to be valid, wherein the message including the first hash value is a message related to RRC Resume Complete. 2 . A communication device comprising: at least one processor; and a memory storing a computer program executed by the at least one processor, wherein the computer program includes instructions for operations of: receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) Resume Request message from a mobile communication terminal in an inactive state that has received a broadcast message related to an emergency text message; establishing an RRC connection with the mobile communication terminal; receiving a message including a first hash value from the mobile communication terminal with which the RRC connection has been established; verifying validity of the first hash value included in the received message; and transmitting a message including information indicating receipt of a false emergency text message, when the first hash value included in the received message is determined to be invalid, wherein the first hash value of a System Information Block (SIB) or a Master Information Block (MIB) is calculated by the mobile communication terminal and included in the message, wherein the verifying the validity of the first hash value comprises: identifying a SIB or a MIB related to the broadcast message; calculating a second hash value for the identified SIB or MIB; and determining that the first hash value included in the received message is valid when it matches the second hash value, wherein the computer program further includes instructions for an operation of transmitting, to the mobile communication terminal, a message including information indicating that a legitimate emergency text message has been transmitted, when the first hash value included in the received message is determined to be valid, and wherein the message including the first hash value is an RRC Resume Complete-related message.
