Abstract

In Europe, most countries have implemented its digital trunking systems to meet the communication needs of various public safety organizations.The development of these systems will be closely correlated with the evolution of operational requirements and communications services needed by users. For all these digital trunking systems, information security has proven to be an essential aspect. In this paper we present some aspects of the security functions of the Tetra system because this system was imposed as an open standard ETSI and is used as a Schengen cooperation system.
