Abstract:
A calling device may obtain a first calling security parameter by registering with a network and obtain a second calling security parameter in response to causing an application authentication architecture of the network to verify that that the calling device is authorized to access a network service corresponding to a communication application stored by the calling device. The calling device may communicate the first and second calling security parameters to a called device and receive first and second called security parameters from the called device in response to communicating the first and second calling security parameters. The calling device may generate a security key based on the first calling security parameter, the second calling security parameter, first called security parameter, and the second called security parameter, and use the security key to encrypt or decrypt communication between the calling device and the called device.
Abstract:
A device may receive, from a mobile device and via a first radio access network, a request for a service. The device may receive a mobile device identifier that identifies the mobile device on a second radio access network. The second radio access network may be a different type of radio access network than the first radio access network. The device may provide the mobile device identifier to an equipment identity register. The device may receive, from the equipment identity register, an authentication indicator that indicates whether to permit or deny access to the service by the mobile device and via the first radio access network. The device may selectively permit or deny the mobile device access to the service, via the first radio access network, based on the authentication indicator.

Abstract:
A first network device is configured to receive a request for content from a user device, determine that the user device is not authenticated, and send information to the user device that the user device requires authentication. The first network device is configured further to receive a notification that the user device is authorized to receive content from multiple content providers. The first network device is configured further to generate a secret key and authenticate the user device by using the secret key. The first network device is further configured to send the content to the user device.
Abstract:
A first network device is configured to receive a request for content from a user device, determine that the user device is not authenticated, and send information to the user device that the user device requires authentication. The first network device is configured further to receive authentication information for the user device from a second network device. The first network device is configured further to generate a secret key, authenticate the user device. The first network device is configured further to request user knowledge information from the user device, validate the user knowledge information and send the content to the user device.
Abstract:
Capability information, relating to hardware and/or software capabilities of different types of mobile devices, may be used to tailor services provided to the mobile device based on the particular type of mobile device. In one implementation, a device, such as an application server that provide services to mobile devices, may: receive a request from a mobile device, for services; obtaining information indicating a type of the mobile device; obtain, based on the type of mobile device, information indicating capabilities of the mobile device; and provide the services to the mobile device, in which the provided services are tailored for the mobile device based on the capabilities of mobile device.
