A method and system for providing a record of consent in scenarios in which the user and a device may have to perform a function that involves two entities that don't trust each other or are not necessary interested in cooperating. In one such example, a user wants to switch services from an “old” operator to a “new” operator. An operator switch without explicit user consent may have legal or business ramifications for both the “old” and “new” operators. The ramifications are even more severe if the switch is the result of actions of, for example, a hacker maliciously causing this switches in order to cause monetary or other damage to either operators or denial of service to the users. In such cases it is useful for both operators to be on record and have an archive of proof of user consent should future disputes arise.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing certificate status information about a certificate includes receiving, at a Certificate Status Information Protocol (CSIP) proxy device the certificate identity information about the certificate of the second device. Then determining, using the CSIP proxy device, whether the certificate status information is stored in a CSIP proxy device memory. If the certificate status information is not stored in the CSIP proxy device memory, creating a CSIP request based on the certificate identity information and sending the CSIP request, including the certificate identity information, to a CSIP responder computer outside the local network domain. If the certificate status information is stored in the CSIP proxy device memory, sending the certificate status information to the first device. Also, a system and method are disclosed for using a CSIP responder computer.
摘要:
A novel system for utilizing an authorization token to separate authentication and authorization services. The system authenticates a client to an authenticating server; generates an authorization token with the authenticating server and the client; and authorizes services for the client using the generated authorization token.

A method is provided for operating a consumer programming device that provisions consumer electronic devices. The method includes receiving over a communication link a first enable message that authorizes the consumer programming device to make available one or more resources which enable it to provide services to consumer electronic devices. Services are provided to consumer electronic devices up until all the resources have been exhausted. Additional consumer electronic devices are provided with services only if a second enable message is received over the communication link.

A method for secure and reliable authentication in a communication system. In an embodiment, the authentication method includes performing authentication of a user utilizing Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), and transmitting a result indication message to the user. The result indication message can include additional information for security and reliability. The method also includes receiving an acknowledgement message from the user. The acknowledgement message is sent by the user for confirming the reception of the result indication. In an embodiment, the method also includes retransmitting the result indication message if the acknowledgement message is not received within a predetermined time. The additional information for security and reliability can include Message Authentication Code (MAC) and time interval information. The additional information for security and reliability can also include a security/reliability flag.
摘要:
A communications component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising acquiring an authentication identifier (Auth ID), and constructing a network service identifier (NSI) comprising the Auth ID and an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) realm. The disclosure includes a system comprising an authorization server in communication with a host, wherein the authorization server is configured to verify a previous authentication of the host using a NSI. Also disclosed is a method comprising receiving a NSI and a service request, wherein the NSI comprises an Auth ID, determining an authentication server associated with the Auth ID, verifying an authentication of a host using the Auth ID, and authorizing the host to receive a service associated with the service request.
摘要:
A method for providing redacted representations of data. The method comprises hosting a resource on a server that comprises data pieces each tagged with a redaction level, generating a plurality of redacted representations of the resource, each redacted representations being designated for one of a plurality of authorization levels that each corresponding to a different range of redaction levels, and the redacted representation for a particular authorization level containing one or more of the data pieces that are tagged with a redaction level that falls within the range of redaction levels for that particular authorization level, receiving a request from a client comprising a claimed authorization level, and providing the client with one of the redacted representations that is designated for the authorization level that matches the claimed authorization level.
摘要:
A method of authentication and authorization over a communications system is provided. Disclosed herein are systems and methods for creating a cryptographic evidence, called authentication/authorization evidence, AE, when a successful authentication/authorization between a client and an authentication server is complete. There are a variety of methods for generating AE. For instance, the AE can be data that is exchanged during the authentication signaling or data that results from it. A distinctive point being that AE results from the authentication process and is used as prior state for the following TLS exchange. An example for creation of AE, is as follows: EAP authentications typically result in an Extended Master Session Key (EMSK). The EMSK can be used to create an Evidence Master Key (EMK) that can then be used to create AE for a variety of servers.
