    Abstract: A device that identifies entry into a new service area, transmits a service area update request to a network device associated with a network, receives a control plane message from the network indicating control plane device relocation or a key refresh due to a service area change in response, to transmitting the service area update request, and derives a first key based in part on data included in the control plane message and a second key shared between the device and a key management device. Another device that receives a handover command from a network device associated with a network, the handover command indicating a new service area, derives a first key based on data included in the handover command and on a second key shared between the device and a key management device, and sends a handover confirmation message that is secured based on the first key.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may perform authentication procedures using an alternative identity (e.g., a privacy mobile subscriber identity (PMSI)) instead of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) to protect the privacy of the user. If the UE does not have a PMSI, it may include a request for a PMSI initialization in an attach request. In some cases, the PMSI may be used once, and a new PMSI may be generated for the next attachment procedure. In some cases, a universal subscriber identity module (USIM) of the UE may not support storage of a PMSI. So a privacy module of the UE may communicate with the USIM according to the USIM's capabilities and may maintain a PMSI separately for communication with the network.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for control and triggering of machine to machine (M2M) devices (e.g., smart meters). More specifically how to allow an M2M service provider (e.g., utility company) to use an operator's network to communicate with the M2M device connected with a UE/GW associated with the operator's network. The M2M service provider may receive identification of the UE/GW, but not for the M2M device. By transmitting an identifier for the M2M device along with an identifier for the UE/GW, the network operator may define establish and maintain a communication path specific to M2M devices. Similar techniques may be incorporated to allow the M2M service provider to locate and trigger the M2M device.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided. The method may include establishing a connection with a serving network, transmitting an encrypted authentication credential that includes a randomly selected key encryption key (KEK) and a serving network identifier to the serving network, receiving authentication information and a signature from the serving network, and authenticating the serving network by verifying the signature based on the KEK. The encrypted authentication credential may be operative to identify the serving network. The signature may be generated using the KEK.

    Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed to protect a user equipment's international mobile subscriber identity by providing a privacy mobile subscriber identity instead. In an attach attempt to a serving network, the UE provides the PMSI instead of IMSI, protecting the IMSI from exposure. The PMSI is determined between a home network server and the UE so that intermediate node elements in the serving network do not have knowledge of the relationship between the PMSI and the IMSI. Upon receipt of the PMSI in the attach request, the server generates a next PMSI to be used in a subsequent attach request and sends the next PMSI to the UE for confirmation. The UE confirms the next PMSI to synchronize between the UE and server and sends an acknowledgment token to the server. The UE and the server then each update local copies of the current and next PMSI values.

    Abstract: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication in which provisioning of credentials for network deployments are provided. As such, the method, apparatus, and computer program product may provision a user equipment (UE) even though the UE does not have any valid security credentials, so as to provide access to a network (e.g., a network using a contention based frequency band such as a Long Term Evolution (LTE) Advanced network in the contention based radio frequency band). Accordingly, in some aspects, the present method, apparatus, and computer program product may enable the UE to perform a provisioning procedure with one or more network entities to obtain one or more security credential parameters.
