摘要:
Method and apparatus for dealing with digital certificate requests in a mobile telecommunications network. A request for a digital certificate is sent from a subscriber to a network element via the network, the request including a first part and a second part. The first part is sent via an authenticated communication channel of the network and the second part is sent via an unprotected communication channel of the network.

A method in a system for transferring accounting information, a system for transferring accounting information, a method in a terminal, a terminal, a method in an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) service authorization server, an EAP service authorization server, a computer program, an Extensible Authentication Protocol response (EAP-response) packet, wherein the method:meters data related to a service used by at least one terminal,provides the metered data as accounting information to at least one Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) service authorization server,sends, by means of an Extensible Authentication Protocol request (EAP-request), a service authorization request from the at least one EAP service authorization server to the at least one terminal,digitally signs accounting information, in the at least one terminal,includes, at the at least one terminal, the digitally signed accounting information in an Extensible Authentication Protocol response (EAP-response), andsends the digitally signed accounting information to an AAA-server.
摘要:
A method of authenticating a user seeking access to a service from a service provider in a communication network, the method comprising: allocating to a user a plurality of service-specific identities for accessing respective services; issuing a request from the user, the request identifying the service to be accessed and including a public key of the user; at a certification authority, authenticating the request and issuing a public key certificate for binding the service-specific identity with the public key in the request, and returning the public key certificate to the user.
摘要:
An approach is provided for performing authentication in a communication system. In one embodiment, a key is established with a terminal in a communication network according to a key agreement protocol. The agreed key is tied to an authentication procedure to provide a security association that supports reuse of the key. A master key is generated based on the agreed key. In another embodiment, digest authentication is combined with key exchange parameters (e.g., Diffie-Hellman parameters) in the payload of the digest message, in which a key (e.g., SMEKEY or MN-AAA) is utilized as a password. In yet another embodiment, an authentication algorithm (e.g., Cellular Authentication and Voice Encryption (CAVE)) is employed with a key agreement protocol with conversion functions to support bootstrapping.

摘要:
A communication system including at least one user equipment and at least one network application functional entity is disclosed. The system further includes a bootstrapping functional entity. The user equipment includes means to transmit a request to push authentication information to at least one network application function. The bootstrapping functional entity includes receiving means for receiving the request from the user equipment, and transmitting means for transmitting the authentication information to the at least one network application function entity. The at least one network application function includes means adapted to receive unsolicited bootstrapping information from the bootstrapping functional entity.
摘要:
A user equipment in a communications system, the user equipment comprising: a memory arranged to store at least one identifier associated with the user equipment; a transceiver arranged to communicate with a node in the communication system, wherein the transceiver is arranged to receive the at least one identifier from the node in the communications system, wherein the at least one identifier is used by the user equipment to authenticate the user equipment to at least one further node in the communications system.
摘要:
An approach is provided for building a scalable service platform by initiating transmission of encrypted data from a public network cache. An access control server platform determines a first authorization key for a user and a second authorization key for a resource, and then encrypts the resource with the second authorization key, and encrypts the second authorization key with the first authorization key. The access control server platform initiates distribution of the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource over a network. The access control server platform further initiates caching the encrypted second authorization key with the encrypted resource that meets a predefined threshold value (e.g., a data size, an access frequency, a modification frequency, or an auditing requirement) in a cache in the network, and initiates transmission of the cached and encrypted second authorization key with the cached and encrypted resource from the cache to at least one authorized entity.
摘要:
A method and arrangements for managing user security data stored in a database of a communications system. In the method a user equipment transmits a request to manage the user security data, the user equipment is authenticated, after which an application entity can manage user security data in the database that associates with the user by communicating data between the application entity and the database connected to the communications system.
