摘要:
The invention relates to a method of authenticating a user equipment in a communications network. The method involves sending a message from a network entity to the user equipment. This message includes a set of options for an authentication procedure for authenticating an internet protocol communication over a first interface between the user equipment and the network entity; said options including a “shared key”-based authentication procedure. The method also involves selecting an option from the set. In the event that the “shared-key”-based authentication procedure is selected, a shared secret from a security key established in a generic bootstrapping architecture (GBA) is generated over a second interface between the user equipment and a bootstrapping service function. The shared secret is then used to compute and verify authentication payloads in the key-based authentication procedure for the communication over the first interface.

The present invention describes a novel security model in which security context is pre-negotiated and is used at future instances to secure messaging between nodes involved in sending and receiving data during the execution of the protocol. This anticipatory pre-negotiation of security context avoids expensive handshakes to establish security contexts that occur at future instances to secure sessions during the execution of the protocol.

A flint wheel assembly is disclosed as including a flint wheel rotatable to rub against a flint for generating spark; and two outer wheels, each on a side of the flint wheel, and each operatively associated with the flint wheel via a respective inner wheel; wherein each outer wheel is movable substantially along its longitudinal axis between a first position in which it is out of contact with the inner wheel and a second position in which it is in contact with the inner wheel; and when the outer wheel is in the second position, the outer wheel is simultaneously rotatably movable with the flint wheel upon the application of a force on the outer wheel in a direction generally towards the inner wheel.

A method and system for authenticating messages received from users across multiple remote devices are provided. A residential gateway authenticates a user using a modified digest authentication scheme by storing a sequence number in the nonce field. Access encryption keys and sequence number spaces may be assigned based on user or on user/remote device pairs. When sequence number spaces are assigned based on user, and the user uses multiple remote devices to access the residential gateway, the sequence number space may be divided into mini-sequence number spaces for each of the multiple remote devices. Access encryption may be two-tiered, such that a secondary key is generated based on a user's primary key, and the secondary key is only valid for a limited amount of time before it expires and a new secondary key must be generated.

An apparatus for re-keying a mobile terminal in a foreign network includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive, at the apparatus which is physically located in the foreign network, a request for re-keying from the mobile terminal in the foreign network. The processor is also configured to translate the request for transmission to a home network of the mobile terminal and to transmit the translated request to a bootstrapping server function of the home network.

A system for powerline networking. The system has an external data source, which is derived from a world wide networks of computers. A router is coupled to the external data source and coupled to a first datasource connection. A powerline network switch apparatus is coupled to the first datasource connection. The apparatus has a second datasource connection, which is coupled to the first data source connection. The apparatus also has a powerline device coupled to the second datasource connection. Preferably, the powerline device is adapted to receive and transmit information in a first format from the second data source connection and adapted to receive and transmit information in a second format. The apparatus also has a virtual local area network device including a first input/output port and a plurality of second input/output ports. Each of the second input/output ports is numbered from 1 through N, where N is an integer greater than 1. A plurality of modem devices are coupled to the virtual local area network device. The plurality of modem devices are numbered from 1 through N, where each of the plurality of modem devices being coupled respectively to one of the plurality of second input/output ports and where each of the plurality of modem devices also being coupled to one of a plurality of power lines numbered from 1 through N, each of the power lines being capable of communicating information to and from the second data source connection.

A mobile node includes first and second communication interfaces for connecting to first and second types of networks, respectively. The mobile node also includes a processor capable of connecting to a first type of network via the first communication interface. The processor can monitor location information from the first type of network, the location information being representative of a geographic area within which the mobile node is currently located and available as a result of the connection to the first type of network. The processor can determine if the mobile node is currently located in an area associated with a second type of network based upon the monitoring of the location information. If so, the processor can turn on the second communication interface, and effectuate a handoff of the mobile node from the first type of network to the second type of network via the second communication interface.

The invention provides media protection of media flows between a network element such as an end point, for instance a mobile user terminal, and another network element over an access network. When media protection is requested, the network element and an intermediate network element such as media proxy establish a connection providing media protection over the access network. An application layer gateway, ALG, may assist in establishing the connection providing media protection by pushing a security association, SA, to the intermediate network element, so as to enable media protection between the network element and the intermediate network element.
