Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for single sign-on in a mobile communication system. A method in which a browsing agent performs single sign-on in a mobile communication system according to the present invention comprises: a step of transmitting user-supplied identifier to a relay party (RP); a step of receiving, from said RP, a message indicating that a browser should be re-directed to said RP; a step of transmitting an identifier of an authentication agent to an open ID provider (OP)/network application function (NAF); and a step of transmitting, to the authentication agent, the identifier of the authentication agent or a message that triggers to make an inquiry into the identifier of the authentication agent. According to the present invention, a single sign-on procedure may be performed in a safer manner.
Abstract:
A terminal and a user authentication method of a terminal in a communication system are provided. The terminal and the method include transmitting information including a user identifier to a Relaying Party (RP), receiving a redirect request message including a OpenID authentication request from the RP, and verifying validity of the RP based on the redirect request message.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for supporting Non-Access Stratum (NAS) communication between a User Equipment (UE) and a Mobility Management Entity (MME) efficiently by addressing the signaling problems occurring between the UE and the MME in a situation where it is necessary for a network node to identify the UE and acquire UE information, if there is any, from another network node to which the UE has been attached, are provided. The method for communication between the UE and network based on the NAS protocol messages and operations is implemented with the involvement a UE, an MME, and an old MME or an old Serving General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (SGSN) to which the UE has been attached before so as to facilitate discovering a best node using the UE information acquired from the old MME or old SGSN during the communication between the UE and the network, resulting in a reduction of a communication delay between the UE and network and an improvement of communication efficiency.
