ENCRYPTING MESSAGES
SMS and MPTP messages can be protected from out-
siders by encrypting message contents. Encryption is
an additional feature. The feature is activated by an
activation key supplied to you by the manufacturer.
The whole procedure:
First activate the feature, next generate the keys,
then select the encryption options and finally save ev-
erything in the mobile phone.
NOTE: The phone must be connected to the Benefon
Configurator software all the time during the proce-
dure.
Activating encryption
To activate the feature, do as follows:
1. Connect the phone with the software.
2. Open
Save activation key
from the
Mobile
menu.

Generating keys
You need two different keys for encryption.
•
Message encryption key
:
The "long key" is needed for
encrypting message contents.
•
Distribution key
: The distribution key is needed for
encrypting the new message encryption key (while
it is sent over the air). I.e. the distribution key
secures the new message encryption key during
OTA transfer.
NOTE: If you generate the new message encryption
key and transfer it
locally
via the BW cable, the dis-
tribution key is not needed.
To generate the keys, do as follows:
1. Open
Encrypting
>
Encrypting keys
from the
Edit
menu.
2. Check the boxes and click
Generate
.
3. When generating the keys, the new keys will be
created into the files. Select the destination direc-
tory, name the file and click
Save
. Name the other
key file and click
Save
once again.
