A security key, K_eNB, for protecting RRC/UP traffic between a User Equipment, UE, and a serving eNodeB is established by a method and an arrangement in a Mobility Management Entity, MME, and in said UE, of an Evolved Packet System, EPS. The MME and the UE derives the security key, K_eNB, from at least an NAS uplink sequence number, NAS_U_SEQ, sent from the UE to the MME, and from an Access Security Management Entity-key, K_ASME, shared between the MME and the UE.

A method for establishing a security association between a client and a service node for the purpose of pushing information from the service node to the client, where the client and a key server share a base secret. The method comprises sending a request for generation and provision of a service key from the service node to a key server, the request identifying the client and the service node, generating a service key at the key server using the identities of the client and the service node, the base secret, and additional information, and sending the service key to the service node together with said additional information, forwarding said additional information from the service node to the client, and at the client, generating said service key using the received additional information and the base key. A similar approach may be used to provide p2p key management.
摘要:
An authentication server and a system and method for managing cryptographic keys across different combinations of user terminals, access networks, and core networks. A Transformation Coder Entity (TCE) creates a master key (Mk), which is used to derive keys during the authentication procedure. During handover between the different access types, the Mk or a transformed Mk is passed between two nodes that hold the key in the respective access networks when a User Equipment (UE) terminal changes access. The transformation of the Mk is performed via a one-way function, and has the effect that if the Mk is somehow compromised, it is not possible to automatically obtain access to previously used master keys. The transformation is performed based on the type of authenticator node and type of UE/identity module with which the transformed key is to be utilized. The Mk is never used directly, but is only used to derive the keys that are directly used to protect the access link.

Techniques for providing additional security for the wireless interface between a relay node and a donor base station are based on a security association established between the relay node and the donor base station. In an example method implemented in a relay node, communications with a donor base station are established and a first cryptographic key is generated according to a radio access protocol. A security association between the relay node and the donor base station is then established, using a credential stored at the relay node, and a second cryptographic key is derived from the first cryptographic key, using the stored credential, or one or more parameters relating to the security association, or information exchanged within the security association. The second key is used to protect user plane data relayed from one or more mobile terminals to the donor base station.

A method of authenticating access to a service comprises: a) receiving at a mobile terminal, over a bi-directional near-field communication channel between the mobile terminal and a browser, at least part of the identifier of a service; b) comparing, at the mobile terminal, at least part of the identifier received at the mobile terminal with a set of identifiers stored in the mobile device; and c) authenticating access to the service on the basis of whether at least part of the identifier received at the mobile terminal matches an identifier in the set. The mobile terminal may stored a set of URLs, and may compare a received URL (or part URL) with the set of stored URLs. It may generate an alert to the user if at least part of the URL received at the mobile terminal does not match a stored URL. User names and keys are not required to be stored on the web-browser, so the web-browser does not need to maintain a password database. This improves security, since a password database would be vulnerable to malicious code.

Methods, apparatus, and computer program products for creating an association between a first user equipment and at least one access point assisted by a registration server in a telecommunication network are disclosed. The registration server responds to a first contact request carried out using a first association number for the access point, provided by the first user equipment, receives a first association request for the association with the access point, provided by the first user equipment, authorizes the first association request based on a first authorization information provided by the first user equipment; registers the association between the first user equipment and the access point responsive to authorization of the first association request. The first user equipment is associated with the access point and the association is administered by the registration server.
摘要:
When setting up communication from a user equipment UE (1), such as for providing IP access for the UE in order to allow it to use some service, information or an indication or at least one network properly relating to a first network, e.g. the current access network (3, 3′), is sent to the UE from a node (13) in a sue and network such as the home network (5) of the subscriber ask UE. The information or indication can be sent in a first stage of an authentication procedure being part of the setting up of a connection from the UE. In particular, the network property can indicate whether the access network (3, 3′) is trusted or not.
摘要:
A method and an arrangement for providing keys for protecting communication between a terminal (300) and service points in a communication network. A basic key (Ik) is first established with a service control node (304) when the terminal has entered the network. An initial modified key (Ik1) is then created in both the service control node and the terminal, by applying a predetermined first function (f) to at least the basic key and an initial value of a key version parameter (v). The initial modified key is sent to a first service point (302), such that it can be used to protect communication between the terminal and the first service point. When the terminal switches to a second service point (306), the first service point and the terminal both create a second modified key (Ik2) by applying a predetermined second function (g) to the initial modified key, and the first service point sends the second modified key to the second service point.
