    Abstract: Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method of wireless communication at a transmitting wireless device includes generating a first Message Authentication Code (MAC) for a data packet based at least in part on a first security key used to communicate with a receiving wireless device; generating a second MAC for the data packet based at least in part on a second security key used to communicate with a relay user equipment (UE), in which the relay UE is included in a data routing path between the transmitting wireless device and the receiving wireless device; and transmitting the data packet to the relay UE with at least the first MAC and the second MAC.

    Abstract: One feature pertains to a method operational at a device. The method includes performing key agreement with a core network device, and generating an authentication session key based in part on a secret key shared with a home subscriber server (HSS), where the authentication session key is known to the core network device. The method further includes generating a mobility session key based in part on the authentication session key, where the mobility session key is known to a mobility management entity (MME) served by the core network device and serving the device. The method also includes cryptographically securing data sent from the device to a wireless communication network using the mobility session key.

    Abstract: One feature pertains to a method operational at a device. The method includes performing authentication and key agreement with a session key management entity (SKME) device. The method also includes generating an authentication session key based in part on a secret key shared with a home subscriber server, the authentication session key being known to the SKME device. The method further includes generating a mobility session key based in part on the authentication session key, the mobility session key being known to a mobility management entity serving the device. Data sent from the device to a wireless communication network is cryptographically secured using the mobility session key.

    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: Systems and techniques are disclosed to facilitate the sponsored connectivity of a user equipment on a serving network so that the UE may access a service whose connectivity is sponsored by an application service provider. The application service provider provisions the serving network so that it is aware of the sponsored connectivity. In an attach attempt to the serving network, the UE provides a client token based on a pre-existing credential (established between the UE and the application service provider) instead of a subscriber identifier with the attach request. The application service provider's server validates the access credential to authenticate the UE and provides information that the serving network uses to mutually authenticate with the UE. The UE may then use the serving network to access the service via the sponsored connection, even where the UE does not have a subscriber identity and subscription with a cellular network.

    Abstract: In an aspect, a network supporting a number of client devices may include a network device that establishes a security context and generates a client device context. The client device context includes network state information that enables the network to communicate with the client device. The network device generates one or more encrypted network reachability contexts based on the client device context, and transmits the one or more encrypted network reachability contexts to a network entity. The one or more encrypted network reachability contexts enable the network device to reconstruct the context for the client device when the network device receives a message to be transmitted to the client device from the network entity. As a result, the network device can reduce an amount of the context for the client device maintained at the network device in order to support a greater number of client devices.

    Abstract translation: 在一方面,支持多个客户端设备的网络可以包括建立安全上下文并生成客户端设备上下文的网络设备。 客户端设备上下文包括使网络能够与客户端设备进行通信的网络状态信息。 网络设备基于客户端设备上下文生成一个或多个加密的网络可达性上下文,并将一个或多个加密的网络可达性上下文发送到网络实体。 当网络设备从网络实体接收要发送到客户端设备的消息时,一个或多个加密的网络可达性上下文使得网络设备能够重建客户端设备的上下文。 结果,网络设备可以减少维护在网络设备处的客户端设备的上下文量,以便支持更多数量的客户端设备。
