Abstract:
A method is provided for implementing a security association for a terminal being attached to an access network. The method includes the following steps, carried out by an authentication server of the access network, after receiving a request coming from the terminal for attachment to the network: receiving a first message containing at least one security association parameter from a bootstrapping server function; authenticating the terminal by using at least one first authentication parameter provided by a home subscriber server of the terminal; and sending a security association message containing the at least one security association parameter to the authenticated terminal.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting routing information between first and second nodes of a plurality of nodes capable of exchanging data relative to the management of subscribers to electronic communication services. The first node and the second node are connected and have exchanged the respective management capabilities thereof. The method includes, when the management capabilities supported by both the first node and the second node include a discovery capability: triggered by a predefined event, transmission, by the first node to the second node, of a discovery message including at least one item of routing information included in a routing table of the first node and relative to at least a third node.
Abstract:
A method for connecting a terminal of a user to an anchoring gateway connected to a packet-switching network. The method is implemented by an access gateway to which the terminal is connected and includes: transmission of a user authorization request, including an identifier of the user, to a current authentication server; receipt of a user authorization response from the current authentication server, including a unique identifier of an authentication server that authenticated the user; transmission of a connection request to the anchoring gateway, intended to connect the terminal to the packet-switching network, including the unique identifier of the authentication server that had authenticated the user.
Abstract:
A method for transporting location information via an authentication. The invention concerns a method for attaching a user terminal to an operator access network, comprising: a step of transmitting a request for attachment to the access network, by the terminal, a step of receiving an authentication request from an authentication server of the operator, a step of generating an authentication response message, a step of obtaining an item of location information, a step of inserting the item of location information into the authentication response message, a step of transmitting the authentication response message.
