    摘要: A method of protecting the exchange of privacy-sensitive data in a wireless communication network, the method including generating and providing a public cryptographic key to a first entity, possessing the data to be sent to the network through a wireless connection; generating and providing a private secret cryptographic key to a second entity, being the intended recipient of the data, the private key being bound to the public key and being associated to privacy support context information to identify the network; having the network send to the first entity respective wireless network privacy support context information; having the first entity receive the information and encrypt the data using the public key and the received information to obtain protected, encrypted privacy-sensitive data; having the first entity send to the second entity through the network the encrypted data; and having the second entity decrypt the encrypted data exploiting the private key.

    摘要: The present disclosure proposes method and systems for establishing secure communication session (s) between a first device and a second device, where the first device operates in a user network and implements a first key exchange protocol for secure communication. The second device is capable of communicating with the first device over a wireless communication network. The second device implements a second key exchange protocol that is different to the first key exchange protocol for secure communication. A proxy entity configured for implementing the first and the second key exchange protocols for secure communication is provided. The proxy entity is configured for generating and/or provisioning one or more session keys for the first and the second devices using the key exchange protocols specific to each device for establishing secure communication between the first and second device based on the generated session key(s).

    摘要: A non-SI device (120) is arranged for wireless communication (130) and cooperates with an SI device (110) having access to a subscriber identity. The non-SI device has a transceiver (121) to communicate in a local network and a processor (122) to establish an association with the SI. A non-SI public key is provided to the SI device via a first communication channel. A verification code is shared with the SI device via a second communication channel. The channels are different and include an out-of-band channel (140). Proof of possession of a non-SI private key is provided to the SI device via the first or the second communication channel. From the SI device, security data is received that is related to the SI and is computed using the non-SI public key. The security data reliably enables the non-SI device to access the core network via the local network and a gateway between the local network and the core network.

    摘要: A method is implemented by a power receiver for authentication with a power transmitter. The method can include selecting, by the power receiver, a beacon from an encryption scheme. The power receiver can further encrypt the beacon to generate an encrypted beacon signal and transmit the encrypted beacon signal to the power transmitter to cause the authentication with the power transmitter. In turn, the power receiver can receive power from the power transmitter after the authentication.
