Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed that provide for a gateway outside of a network domain to provide services to a plurality of devices. For example, the gateway may act as a management entity or as a proxy for the network domain. As a management entity, the gateway may perform a security function relating to each of the plurality of devices. The gateway may perform the security function without the network domain participating or having knowledge of the particular devices. As a proxy for the network, the gateway may receive a command from the network domain to perform a security function relating to each of a plurality of devices. The network may know the identity of each of the plurality of devices. The gateway may perform the security function for each of the plurality of devices and aggregate related information before sending the information to the network domain.

Systems, methods, and apparatus are provided for generating verification data that may be used for validation of a wireless transmit-receive unit (WTRU). The verification data may be generated using a tree structure having protected registers, represented as root nodes, and component measurements, represented as leaf nodes. The verification data may be used to validate the WTRU. The validation may be performed using split-validation, which is a form of validation described that distributes validation tasks between two or more network entities. Subtree certification is also described, wherein a subtree of the tree structure may be certified by a third party.
摘要:
Wireless telecommunications networks may implement various forms of authentication. There are a variety of different user and device authentication protocols that follow a similar network architecture, involving various network entities such as a user equipment (UE), a service provider (SP), and an authentication endpoint (AEP). To select an acceptable authentication protocol or credential for authenticating a user or UE, authentication protocol negotiations may take place between various network entities. For example, negotiations may take place in networks implementing a single-sign on (SSO) architecture and/or networks implementing a Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA).
摘要:
Secure communications may be established amongst network entities for performing authentication and/or verification of the network entities. For example, a user equipment (UE) may establish a secure channel with an identity provider, capable of issuing user identities for authentication of the user/UE. The UE may also establish a secure channel with a service provider, capable of providing services to the UE via a network. The identity provider may even establish a secure channel with the service provider for performing secure communications. The establishment of each of these secure channels may enable each network entity to authenticate to the other network entities. The secure channels may also enable the UE to verify that the service provider with which it has established the secure channel is an intended service provider for accessing services.

摘要:
A trusted computing environment, such as a smartcard, UICC, Java card, global platform, or the like may be used as a local host trust center and a proxy for a single-sign on (SSO) provider. This may be referred to as a local SSO provider (OP). This may be done, for example, to keep authentication traffic local and to prevent over the air communications, which may burden an operator network. To establish the OP proxy in the trusted environment, the trusted environment may bind to the SSO provider in a number of ways. For example, the SSO provider may interoperate with UICC-based UE authentication or GBA. In this way, user equipment may leverage the trusted environment in order to provide increased security and reduce over the air communications and authentication burden on the OP or operator network.
摘要:
Persistent communication layer credentials generated on a persistent communication layer at one network may be leveraged to perform authentication on another. For example, the persistent communication layer credentials may include application-layer credentials derived on an application layer. The application-layer credentials may be used to establish authentication credentials for authenticating a mobile device for access to services at a network server. The authentication credentials may be derived from the application-layer credentials of another network to enable a seamless handoff from one network to another. The authentication credentials may be derived from the application-layer credentials using reverse bootstrapping or other key derivation functions. The mobile device and/or network entity to which the mobile device is being authenticated may enable communication of authentication information between the communication layers to enable authentication of a device using multiple communication layers.

Users desire useable security or a seamless means for accessing internet services whereby user interaction in the provisioning of credentials may be kept to a minimum or even eliminated entirely. The Single Sign-On (SSO) identity management (IdM) concept may be a means by which a user may be provided with such ease of use, while enabling user-assisted and network-assisted authentication for access to desired services. To enable seamless authentication services to users, a unified framework and a protocol layer interface for managing multiple authentication methods may be used.
摘要:
A wireless communications device may be configured to perform integrity checking and interrogation with a network entity to isolate a portion of a failed component on the wireless network device for remediation. Once an integrity failure is determined on a component of the device, the device may identify a functionality associated with the component and indicate the failed functionality to the network entity. Both the wireless network device and the network entity may identify the failed functionality and/or failed component using a component-to-functionality map. After receiving an indication of an integrity failure at the device, the network entity may determine that one or more additional iterations of integrity checking may be performed at the device to narrow the scope of the integrity failure on the failed component. Once the integrity failure is isolated, the network entity may remediate a portion of the failed component on the wireless communications device.
