    摘要: A method for protecting a wireless communications device against unauthorized use of functionality provided by the wireless communications device, the method comprising: receiving a binding command to bind the wireless communications device to a subscription identification module operationally coupled to the wireless communications device and associated with a subscription to a communications service; responsive to the received command, storing a module identifier identifying the subscription identification module; and storing a device identifier identifying the wireless communications device; obtaining an unbind code and storing the obtained unbind code; performing a module verification verifying that a subscription identification module identified by a stored module identifier is operationally coupled to the wireless communications device, performing a device verification verifying whether a wireless communications device identified by a stored device identifier is operationally coupled to the subscription identification module; and preventing operation of at least a part of said functionality unless the module verification and the device verification have been performed successfully.

    摘要: A method of and arrangement for detecting a manipulated or defect base station of a communication network is disclosed, wherein a target base station, having selected one or more algorithms on the basis of a prioritized algorithm list (PAL) and a UE security capabilities (SCAP), reports UE SCAP related information to a core network node. The core network node having knowledge of the UE SCAP compares this information or parts of this information with the retrieved UE SCAP related information in order to be able to identify a manipulated or defect base station when a comparison fails to match.

    摘要: A mobile communication device is configured to provide redundant credentialed access to one or more secured wireless communication networks. The mobile device obtains credentialed access to one of the secured networks by remotely using credentials stored in a credentialed communication device that is locally available (i.e., in the vicinity of the mobile device). Responsive to detecting the actual, or potential, compromise of the mobile device's credentialed access to that secured network, the mobile device switches to other credentials stored in a different credentialed device and obtains credentialed access to one of the secured networks by remotely using those other credentials. This switching occurs dynamically upon detecting the compromise of credentialed access, as well as automatically without requiring the mobile device's user to manually enter commands into the device's user interface.

    摘要: An electronic device requires valid control keys to change any usage restriction setting. The device is provided control keys, a secret key, and a signed software object including a batch ID and a hash of the secret key. For each control key, the device generates a cryptographic footprint bound to the device and the secret key. A message authentication code (MAC) of each usage restriction setting is generated, the MAC bound to the device and a control key. To change a usage restriction, the device receives a control key, validates it against the stored footprint, changes the usage restriction settings, and generates a new usage restriction setting MAC. The control key footprints are bound to the secret key, but the device retains only a hash of the secret key.

    摘要: The invention concerns a tamper-resistant electronic circuit configured for implementation in a device. The electronic circuit securely implements and utilizes device-specific security data during operation in the device, and is basically provided with a tamper-resistantly stored secret not accessible over an external circuit interface. The electronic circuit is also provided with functionality for performing cryptographic processing at least partly in response to the stored secret to generate an instance of device-specific security data that is internally confined within said electronic circuit during usage of the device. The electronic circuit is further configured for performing one or more security-related operations or algorithms in response to the internally confined device-specific security data. In this way, secure implementation and utilization device-specific security data for security purposes can be effectively accomplished. The security is uncompromised since the stored secret is never available outside the electronic circuit, and the device-specific security data is internally confined within the circuit during usage or operation of the device.

    摘要: In a communication system, an authentication ciphering offset (ACO) is generated as a function of one or more parameters, wherein at least one of the one or more parameters is derived from earlier-computed values of the ACO. This enables each device to avoid generating an ACO value that is out of synchronization with a counterpart ACO value generated in another communication device.
