GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MCS3122 is a KEELOQ encoder, designed for secure
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and secure remote
control systems. MCS3122 utilizes the Advanced
KEELOQ code hopping technology. The encoder
incorporates a high- security, low-cost small package
outline to make this device the perfect solution for
unidirectional authentication systems and access
control systems.
The Advanced KEELOQ technology uses the industry
standard AES-128 encryption algorithm, a serial
number and a message counter which continuously
increments with each button press.
The crypt key, serial number and configuration data are
stored in a Flash array which is not accessible via any
external connection. The Flash data is programmable
but read-protected. The data can be verified only after
an automatic erase and programming operation. This
protects against attempts to gain access to keys or
manipulate synchronization values. In addition,
MCS3122 provides an easy to use serial interface for
programming the necessary keys, system parameters
and configuration data.
1.1
Key Terms
The following is a list of key terms used throughout this
data sheet. For additional information on KEELOQ
technology and code hopping, refer to “An Introduction
to KEELOQ® Code Hopping” Technical Brief (DS91002).
• RKE: Remote Keyless Entry
• Function Code: It indicates what button input(s)
activated the transmission. It encompasses the
function code bits.
• Code Hopping: A method by which a code,
viewed externally to the system, appears to
change unpredictably each time it is transmitted.
• Code Word: A block of data that is repeatedly
transmitted upon button activation.
• Transmission: A data stream consisting of
repeating code words.
• Crypt Key: A unique and secret number (128-bit
for Advanced KEELOQ technology) used to
encrypt and decrypt data. In a symmetrical block
cipher such as those used on MCS3122, the
encryption and decryption keys are equal and,
therefore, will generally be referred to as the crypt
key.
• Encoder: A device that generates and encodes
data.
• Encryption Algorithm: A method whereby data
is scrambled using a crypt key. The data can only
be interpreted by the respective decryption
algorithm using the same crypt key.
• Decoder: A device that decodes data received
from an encoder.
2014 Microchip Technology Inc.
• Decryption Algorithm: A recipe whereby data,
scrambled by an encryption algorithm, can be
unscrambled using the same crypt key.
• Learn: Learning involves the receiver calculating
the transmitter’s appropriate crypt key, decrypting
the received hopping code and storing the serial
number, synchronization counter or timer value,
and crypt key in EEPROM. The KEELOQ
technology product family facilitates several
learning strategies to be implemented on the
decoder. The following are examples of what can
be done:
- Simple Learning: The receiver uses a fixed
crypt key. The crypt key is common to every
component used by the same manufacturer.
- Normal Learning: The receiver derives a
crypt key from the encoder serial number.
Every transmitter has a unique crypt key.
- Secure Learning: The receiver derives a
crypt key from the encoder seed value. Every
encoder has a unique seed value that is only
transmitted by a special button combination.
• Manufacturer’s Code: A unique and secret
number
(128-bit
for
Advanced
KEELOQ
technology) used to derive crypt keys. Each
encoder is programmed with a crypt key that is a
function of the manufacturer’s code. Each
decoder is programmed with the manufacturer’s
code itself.
The MCS3122 code hopping encoder is designed
specifically for keyless entry systems. Typical
applications include vehicles and home garage door
openers. The encoder portion of a keyless entry system
is integrated into a transmitter carried by the user. The
transmitter is operated to gain access to a vehicle or a
restricted area. MCS3122 is meant to be a costeffective, yet secure solution to such systems, requiring
very few external components (see Figure 2-1).
Most low-end keyless entry transmitters are given a
fixed identification code that is transmitted every time a
button is pushed. The number of unique identification
codes in a low-end system is usually a relatively small
number. These shortcomings provide an opportunity
for a sophisticated thief to create a device that ‘grabs’
a transmission and retransmits it later, or a device that
quickly ‘scans’ all possible identification codes until the
correct one is found.
Advanced KEELOQ technology uses the industry
standard AES-128 encryption algorithm to obscure
data using 128 bits for both its block and key length. In
addition to the security of Advanced KEELOQ
technology, the encoder sends a message
authorization block which is used to separate the
message encryption from the message authentication.

Counter and Protection
The synchronization counter is read, checked for
integrity, updated (incremented) and saved back to
Flash during normal operation of the device. The
special operation prevents against data loss from
unexpected power loss. An 8-bit checksum is
calculated and stored alongside the synchronization
counter. The checksum is calculated as a two’s
complement checksum. If there is a mismatch, the
second copy of the synchronization counter is read
instead. Example 3-1 illustrates how to compute this
value.

Data Modulation Format and Baud
Rate
A transmission is made up of several code words. Each
code word contains a preamble, header and data. A
code word is separated from another code word by
guard time.
All timing specifications for the modulation formats are
based on a basic Time Element, described as TE. See
Section 5.2 “Baud Rate” for details on baud rate
calculation. This timing element can be set to a wide
range of values. The length of the preamble, header
and guard is fixed. The guard time is fixed to a typical
18.5 ms.

Crystal Selection
Once the frequency band has been selected, the choice
of crystal frequency is flexible provided the crystal
meets the specifications summarized in Table 5-6, the
boundaries of the Encoder Frequency Configuration
value are followed and the RF transmit frequency error
is acceptable to the system design.

This feature sets a maximum number of code words
transmitted by a button configuration. If a button is kept
pressed, the maximum allowed code words will be
transmitted. If a new button is pressed or a new button
press combination is used, the process will be restarted
and the maximum number of words will be transmitted.

The button combination corresponding to
the setting ‘111’ will not generate a seed
combination since it corresponds to all
buttons not pressed. Setting the bits to
this value will disable the seed packet
sending (i.e., no button combination will
send a seed code).
Code Word Completion
MCS3122 always ensures that a full and complete
code word is transmitted even if all buttons are
released before transmission is complete.

FIGURE 6-1:
TYPICAL DECODER
OPERATION
Rev. 20-000013A

Start
6.1
The decoder waits until a transmission is received. The
received serial number is compared to the EEPROM
table of learned transmitters to first determine if this
transmitter’s use is allowed in the system. If from a
paired transmitter, the transmission is decrypted using
the stored crypt key and authenticated via the
Discrimination bits for appropriate crypt key usage. If
the decryption is valid, the synchronization value is
evaluated (see Figure 6-1).

Synchronization with a Decoder
The synchronization method described in
this section is an exemplar method. It may
be altered to fit the needs and capabilities
of a particular system.
The KEELOQ technology includes a sophisticated
synchronization technique that does not require the
calculation and storage of future codes. The technique
securely blocks invalid transmission while providing
transparent
resynchronization
to
transmitters
inadvertently activated away from the receiver.

Figure 6-2
shows
a
three-partition,
rotating
Synchronization window. The size of each window is
optional but the technique is fundamental. Each time a
transmission is authenticated, the intended function is
executed and the transmission’s synchronization
counter value is stored in EEPROM. From the currently
stored counter value there is an initial Single Operation
Forward window of 16 codes. If the difference between
a received synchronization counter and the last stored
counter is within 16, the intended function will be
executed on a single button press and the new
synchronization counter will be stored. Storing the new
synchronization counter value effectively rotates the
entire Synchronization window.
A Double Operation (Resynchronization) window
further exists from the Single Operation window up to
8M code forward of the currently stored counter value.
It is referred to as Double Operation because a
transmission with a synchronization counter in this
window will require an additional, sequential counter
transmission prior to executing the intended function.
Upon receiving the sequential transmission the
decoder executes the intended function and stores the
synchronization counter value. This resynchronization
occurs transparently to the user, as it is human nature
to press the button a second time if the first was
unsuccessful.
The third window is a Blocked window ranging from the
Double Operation window to the currently stored
synchronization counter value. Any transmission with
synchronization counter value within this window will
be ignored. This window excludes previously used
code-grabbed transmissions from accessing the
system.

Security Considerations
The strength of this security is based on keeping a
secret inside the transmitter that can be verified by
encrypted transmissions to a trained receiver. The
transmitter’s secret is the manufacturer’s key, not the
encryption algorithm. If that key is compromised, then
a smart transceiver can capture any serial number,
create a valid code word and trick all receivers trained
with that serial number. The key cannot be read from
the EEPROM without costly die probing, but it can be
calculated by brute force decryption attacks on
transmitted code words. The cost for these attacks
should exceed what the manufacturer would want to
protect.
To protect the security of other receivers with the same
manufacturer’s code, the manufacturer should use the
random seed for secure learn. It is a second secret that
is unique for each transmitter. If a manufacturer’s key is
compromised, clone transmitters can be created, but
without the unique seed, they have to be relearned by
the receiver. In the same way, if the transmissions are
decrypted by brute force on a computer, the random
seed hides the manufacturer’s key and prevents more
than one transmitter from being compromised.

Synchronization
Counter Value
Single Operation
Window
(16 Codes)
The main benefit of hopping codes is to prevent the
retransmission of captured code words. This works
very well for code words which the receiver decodes.
Its weakness is that, if a code is captured when the
receiver misses it, the code may trick the receiver once
if it is used before the next valid transmission. The
receiver should increment the counter on questionable
code word receptions. The transmitter should use
separate buttons for lock and unlock functions. A
different method would be to require two different
buttons in sequence to gain access.
There are more ways to make KEELOQ systems more
secure, but they all have trade-offs. The user should
find a balance between security, design effort and
usability, particularly in failure modes. For example, if a
button sticks or kids play with it, the counter should not
advance into the Blocked Code window, rendering the
transmitter useless or requiring retraining.
The length of the code word at these baud rates make
brute force attacks that guess the hopping code take
years. To make the receiver less susceptible to this
attack, it should test all bits in the decrypted code for
the correct value, not just the low counter bits and
function code.
