A method and/or system for transmitting sequences of signals/data from a
transmitter to a receiver and for authenticating the sequences of
signals/data may consist of a precalculation phase and of a communication
phase in which the signals are transmitted together with the checking
sums. In the precalculation phase, a pseudo-random sequence may be first
generated by means of a cryptographic algorithm from a time-variable
parameter and other initialization data. Non-overlapping sections (z(1)
of a sequence (z) having each m bits may be associated to signals (s(i)),
wherein i=1, 2, . . . n, of a signal storage. Further non-overlapping m
bit sections (t(i)) of the remaining sequence may be selected for coding
numbers (1, 2, . . . MAX). The transmitter may transmit the
initialization information and the time-variable parameters to the
receiver and the receiver may calculate the pseudo-random sequence (z)
and checks the receiver authentication token (T). The transmitter may
accept the received signals as being authentic when the received
authentication tokens match the calculated ones.
