摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing secure Machine-to-Machine (M2M) provisioning and communication is disclosed. In particular a temporary private identifier, or provisional connectivity identification (PCID), for uniquely identifying machine-to-machine equipment (M2ME) is also disclosed. Additionally, methods and apparatus for use in validating, authenticating and provisioning a M2ME is also disclosed. The validation procedures disclosed include an autonomous, semi-autonomous, and remote validation are disclosed. The provisioning procedures include methods for re-provisioning the M2ME. Procedures for updating software, and detecting tampering with the M2ME are also disclosed.

As users gain access to different services, the grade of the services may vary, for example, from low value services to high value services. A low value may indicate that a low strength of authentication is required, while a high value may indicate that a high strength of authentication is required to access the service. There is disclosed a method for authenticating a device comprising the determination (204) of an authentication requirement to access a first service that is provided by a service provider, SP, the discovery (208) of one or more authentication factors, associated with the device or the user, that are available for the authentication, the determination (210) whether at least one of the discovered authentication factors are sufficient to achieve the authentication requirement and, if so, the performance (212-228) of corresponding authentication procedures.

Systems, methods and apparatus embodiments are described herein for authenticating a user and/or a user equipment (UE). For example, a user and/or UE may request access to a service controlled by a service provider (SP). The user may be authenticated by an identity provider (IdP), producing a result. A user assertion may be provided to the SP, and the user assertion may comprise the user authentication result. The UE may be authenticated with another IdP, producing an associated result. A device assertion may be provided to the SP and may comprise the device authentication result. A master IdP may bind the assertions together and a consolidated assertion may be provided to the SP so that the user/UE can receive access to a service that is provided by the SP.

Described herein are methods, device, and systems that provide security to various computing systems, such as, smartphones, tablets, personal computers, computing servers, or the like. Security is provided to computing systems at various stages of their operational cycles. For example, a secure boot of a base computing platform (BCP) may be performed, and security processor (SecP) may be instantiated on the BCP. Using the SecP, an integrity of the OS of the BCP may be verified, and an integrity of a hypervisor may be verified. A virtual machine (VM) may be created on the BCP. The VM is provided with virtual access to the SecP on the BCP. Using the virtual access to the TAM, an integrity of the guest OS of the VM is verified and an integrity of applications running on the guest OS are verified.
