Abstract:
A method and apparatus is provided for connecting a communication device to a deployable system. The deployable system obtains at least one deployable key derived on a fixed system for the deployable system based on an existing key stored on a database of the fixed system, wherein the existing key is used to authenticate a communication device. The deployable system stores the derived key. Subsequent to the storing, the deployable system is activated to provide communication resources to communication devices disconnected from the fixed system. The activated deployable system is not connected to the fixed system. The activated deployable system receives an authentication request from the communication device requesting connection to the deployable system; generates authentication vectors using the at least one derived deployable key; and authenticates an authentication response received from the communication device using the authentication vectors.

Abstract:
A system and method for enabling a primary and a secondary communication device to share a user identity assertion is presented. The user identity assertion enables the devices to access an application system. The primary and secondary devices are paired to place them in collaboration with each other. The primary device requests an identity provider system to issue a user identity assertion scoped to the primary and secondary communication device. The identity provider system authenticates the primary device and generates the user identity assertion scoped to the primary device and the secondary device identified in the request. The primary communication device receives the user identity assertion and communicates the user identity assertion to the secondary device. The primary device may request the user identity assertion by communicating a user identity assertion scoped to the primary device and a single sign on session cookie or a request for an extension assertion.
