摘要:
A method of forwarding IP packets, sent to an old care-of-address of a mobile node, to the mobile node following a handover of the mobile node from a first old access router to a second new access router. The method comprises, prior to completion of said handover, providing said first router or another proxy node with information necessary to determine the new IP care-of address to be used by the mobile node when the mobile node is transferred to the second access router. At said first router or said proxy node, the new care-of-address for the mobile node is determined using said information and ownership of the new care-of-address by the mobile node confirmed, and subsequently packets received at said first access network and destined for said old care-of-address are forwarded to the predicted care-of-address address.

A method of delegating responsibility for an IP address owned by a first IP network node to a second IP network node, at least a part of the IP address being derivable from a public key of a public/private key pair belonging to the first node. The method comprises notifying the first node of a public key of a public/private key pair belonging to the second node, at the first node, signing the public key of the second node with the private key of the first node to provide an authorisation certificate, and sending the authorisation certificate from the first node to the second node, wherein the authorisation certificate is subsequently included with messages relating to said IP address and signed with the private key of the second node, sent from the second node to receiving nodes, and is used by the receiving nodes to verify the second node's claim on the IP address.
摘要:
A method of facilitating Internet Protocol access by a mobile node to an access Network, the method comprising: sending an attachment request from the mobile node to an access router of the access network, the request containing a mobile node identifier and an Interface Identifier or means for deriving an Interface Identifier, and being signed by the mobile node to allow the message to be authenticated as originating at that mobile node; receiving the request at the access router and authenticating the message there using the signature, and in response to the receipt and authentication of the message, performing a predefined set of tasks delegated to the access node and which are required to facilitate said access; and returning an acknowledgment from the access router to the mobile node confirming the access permission, the acknowledgement containing a network routing prefix and means for authenticating the access router to the mobile node.

A basic idea according to the invention is to enhance or update the basic cryptographic security algorithms by an algorithm-specific modification of the security key information generated in the normal key agreement procedure of the mobile communication system. For communication with the mobile terminal, the network side normally selects an enhanced version of one of the basic cryptographic security algorithms supported by the mobile, and transmits information representative of the selected algorithm to the mobile terminal. The basic security key resulting from the key agreement procedure (AKA, 10) between the mobile terminal and the network is then modified (22) in dependence on the selected algorithm to generate an algorithm-specific security key. The basic security algorithm (24) is then applied with this algorithm-specific security key as key input to enhance security for protected communication in the mobile communications network.

A method and apparatus enables a Network Access Server in association with a telecommunications switch to route incoming calls only to devices that have an actual connection to the Internet. A set of devices, RPG-Is, reformat incoming data from subscribers to a desired Internet Protocol. Initially, the expected network topology is recorded in memory for later comparison. During operation, each RPG-I attempts to detect the presence of every other expected RPG-I. If the presence of another RPG-I is not detected within a predetermined threshold period, then an alarm is issued. Error alarms are forwarded to application logic of the telecommunications switch so that the switch can avoid connecting a subscriber's call to an inoperable RPG-I. An alarm can also be forwarded to a network operator's terminal.

The present invention relates to a Domain Name System (DNS) server and a method for resolving DNS queries from a number of clients. The DNS server comprises multiple virtual DNS server instances servicing different clients. The DNS server further comprises a shared cache for caching records which indicate answers to resolved DNS queries. The shared cache is shared between a set of virtual DNS server instances. The virtual DNS server instances that share the shared cache are able to cache DNS query results in the shared cache as well as resolve a DNS query by retrieving a cached record corresponding to the DNS query from the shared cache. Thus it is possible for a virtual DNS server instance to make use of DNS query results obtained by other virtual DNS server instances.
摘要:
A method of controlling the re-direction of IP packets to an IP host having two or more different IP addresses comprises generating a first of said IP addresses as a one-way function of the second IP address. The method further comprises accepting a request to re-direct a packet destined to said first IP address to another IP address only if the other IP address is the second IP address.

It is presented a configuration provision device comprising: an electronic paper display; an input device arranged to detect a user action; and a controller arranged to, when the input device detects a user action, determine configuration data of a machine-to-machine device associated with the configuration provision device, and display the configuration data on the electronic paper display. A corresponding machine-to-machine device, system, method, computer program and computer program product are also presented.
摘要:
There is described a device for communicating with a network. The device receives a series of paging messages from a serving node in the network, where each paging message includes identification and authentication information sufficient to identify at least one device and authenticate the message, at least some of the information having been protected according to a sequence such that it varies between successive paging messages. The device verifies the protected part of the information using a cryptographic function and knowledge of the sequence and identifies whether the information indicates that message is an authentic message intended for that device. The device may act in response to the received paging message.
摘要:
When setting up communication from a user equipment UE (1), such as for providing IP access for the UE in order to allow it to use some service, information or an indication of at least one network property relating to a first network, e.g. the current access network (3, 3′), is sent to the UE from a node (13) in a second network such as the home network (5) of the subscriber of the UE. The information or indication can be sent in a first stage of an authentication procedure being part of the setting up of a connection from the UE. In particular, the network property can indicate whether the access network (3, 3′) is trusted or not.
