摘要:
A communication system (100) is facilitated by an access node (102) to support communication with subscriber units (104, 106) as secondary users of a regulated spectrum portion. The access node requests permission to operate as a secondary user from an authorization server (118). The authorization server provides authorized transmission parameters based on characteristics of the access node. The access node operates according to the authorized transmission parameters and provides the parameters to eligible subscriber units.

摘要:
Distributed DNS in a wireless communication network comprising broadcasting by a first node a request message to a second node is disclosed. The request message comprises a hostname of the second node. The first node forwards the request message to the second node through intermediate nodes in the wireless communication network and the second node transmits a response message to the first node. The response message comprises a MAC address of the second node.
摘要:
A method and device is provided for dynamically maintaining and updating public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate path data across remote trusted domains to enable relying parties to efficiently authenticate other nodes in an autonomous ad-hoc network. A certificate path management unit (CPMU) monitors a list of sources for an occurrence of a life cycle event capable of altering an existing PKI certificate path data. Upon determining that the life cycle event has occurred, the CPMU calculates a new PKI certificate path data to account for the occurrence of the life cycle event and provides the new PKI certificate path data to at least one of a relying party in a local domain or a remote CPMU in a remote domain.
摘要:
A method and device for distributing public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate path data enables relying nodes to efficiently authenticate other nodes in an autonomous ad-hoc network. The method includes compiling, at a certificate path management unit (CPMU), the PKI certificate path data (step 405). One or more available certificate paths are then determined at the CPMU for at least one relying node (step 410). Next, the PKI certificate path data are distributed by transmitting a certificate path data message from the CPMU to the at least one relying node (step 415). The certificate path data message includes information identifying one or more trusted certification authorities associated with the one or more available certificate paths.
摘要:
A method for external organization path length (EOPL) validation is provided. A relying party node of an organization receives an authentication request from a subject node of an external organization. The relying party node then obtains and evaluates certificates from a chain of certificates that link the subject node to a trust anchor of the relying party node wherein, at least one certificate from the chain of certificates comprises an enabled external organization flag (EOF) and/or an external organization path length constraint (EOPLC). The relying party node invalidates authentication of the subject node when the relying party node determines that a total number of enabled EOFs from certificates in the chain of certificates exceeds the lowest EOPLC value from certificates in the chain of certificates.
摘要:
A method for transmitting a packet from a transmitting node to a destination node in a communication network can enable improved network efficiency. The method includes receiving and storing identification information concerning at least one foreign node that is directly reachable in the communication network (block 505). It is then determined, using the identification information, whether the destination node is directly reachable in the communication network (block 510). Based on whether the destination node is directly reachable in the communication network, it is then determined whether to transmit the packet to the destination node using a tunneling protocol or without using a tunneling protocol (block 515). The packet is then transmitted from the transmitting node to the destination node (block 520).
摘要:
A certificate authority selection unit implements a method for selecting one of a plurality of certificate authorities servicing a plurality of administrative domains in a communication system. The method includes: receiving, from an end-entity via an interface, a certificate service request associated with an identifier; selecting, based on the identifier, one of the plurality of administrative domains in the communication system, wherein the plurality of administrative domains are serviced by a plurality of certificate authorities; retrieving a security profile for the end-entity; and selecting, based on the security profile for the end-entity, one of the plurality of certificate authorities to process the certificate service request.
摘要:
Techniques are provided for distributed admission control (AC) in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). When the source node transmits a new communication stream (NCS) toward a destination node, other nodes allow transmission of the NCS during a temporary admission period even though the NCS has not yet been admitted. The nodes can determine whether the NCS causes degradation of any existing communication stream(s) (ECSs) supported by that node based on existing QoS requirements associated with the ECSs. In some implementations, nodes which determine that they are unable to support ECSs transmit an indicator which notifies other nodes that admission of the NCS is denied by that node. By contrast, if none of the nodes transmit an indicator during the temporary admission period, then the NCS is “admitted” to the MANET and the source node is permitted to keep transmitting the NCS, a variation thereof or another new communication stream.
摘要:
A certificate issuer (210) can periodically request, receive, and store current server-based certificate validation protocol (SCVP) staples (225) for supported relying parties (205) from at least one server-based certificate validation protocol (SCVP) responder (215). The certificate issuer (210) can receive a contact initiation request (220) from one of the relying parties (205). Responsive to receiving the contact initiation request (220), the certificate issuer (210) can identify a current SCVP staple from the saved staples that is applicable to the relying party (205). The certificate issuer (210) can conveying a response to the contact initiation request (220) to the relying party (205). The response can comprise the identified SCVP staple and a public key infrastructure (PKI) certificate (230) of the certificate issuer. The SCVP staple can validate a certification path between the PKI certificate (230) and a different certificate trusted by the relying party (205).
