Jaroslava Fiedlerova 82bccfb9fe Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/fix-nhcc-reestablishment' into integration_2026_w02 (!3770)
Refactor key derivation logic to properly handle Next Hop (NH) chain
synchronization according to 3GPP TS 33.501 specifications for both RRC
Reestablishment and Master Key Update procedures.

Changes in rrc_gNB.c:
- Clarify key derivation in rrc_gNB_generate_RRCReestablishment by explicitly
  selecting base key (NH or KgNB) based on nh_ncc value
- Add comment explaining vertical vs horizontal derivation logic

Changes in rrc_UE.c:
Refactored the NH chain synchronization and key derivation code to match
TS 33.501 terminology:
- nr_sync_nh_chain(): Common helper to synchronize NH parameter chain per
  TS 33.501 Annex A.10, supporting both Master Key Update and RRC Reestablishment
  procedures
- nr_derive_kgnb_horizontal(): Derive KNG-RAN* from current KgNB when NCC values
  match (horizontal derivation per TS 33.501 A.11/A.12)
- nr_derive_kgnb_vertical(): Derive KNG-RAN* from synchronized NH after NH chain
  sync (vertical derivation per TS 33.501 A.11/A.12)
- nr_update_kgnb_from_ncc(): Unified function implementing TS 33.501 6.9.2.3.4
  logic for updating KgNB based on received nextHopChainingCount
- Refactor as_security_key_update(): Use new nr_update_kgnb_from_ncc() helper
  function for cleaner, more maintainable code
- Fix nr_rrc_ue_process_rrcReestablishment(): Properly handle received
  nextHopChainingCount and update KgNB using unified helper function
- Replaced the previous nr_rrc_nh_update() helper with these functions to
  improve clarity and alignment with the specification.
- Add debug logging for key derivation process

Key NAS deriver utils:
- update derive_kgnb documentation and protect input keys with const attribute

How to get support from the OAI Community

You can ask your question on the mailing lists.

Your email should contain below information:

  • A clear subject in your email.
  • For all the queries there should be [Query] in the subject of the email and for problems there should be [Problem].
  • In case of a problem, add a small description.
  • Do not share any photos unless you want to share a diagram.
  • OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP configuration file in .conf format only.
  • Logs of OAI gNB/DU/CU/CU-CP/CU-UP in .log or .txt format only.
  • In case your question is related to performance, include a small description of the machine (Operating System, Kernel version, CPU, RAM and networking card) and diagram of your testing environment.
  • Known/open issues are present on GitLab, so keep checking.

Always remember a structured email will help us understand your issues quickly.
