An apparatus and a method for securing a communication information in a CDMA
communication
system are disclosed. The method of the invention comprises the steps of encoding
a input analog signal as an information bit having a predetermined size and generating
a vocoder packet information bit, and encrypting said encoded vocoder packet information
bit using a block cipher and a security key, and adding a frame quality indicator
and the encoder tail bits to the encrypted vocoder packet information bit and configuring
it as a CDMA frame, and transmitting the CDMA frame which passes a convolutional
encoder, interleaver, and modulator in sequence, to a base station through an assigned
frequency band.
Further, The method of the invention comprises the steps of receiving a
signal from a base station, and reproducing it as a CDMA frame, and extracting
an encrypted vocoder packet information bit from the reproduced CDMA frame, and
decrypting the encrypted vocoder packet information bit by a block cipher and a
security key, and decoding the decrypted vocoder packet information bit.
