ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17432404 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND AUTHENTICATION METHOD IN ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device and an authentication method for communication-related security data. The device includes a communication circuit and a processor. The processor confirms an authentication event, verifies communication-related security data, and transmits a certificate request message to an authentication server. It receives a certificate from the server and authenticates the use authority of the communication-related security data based on the received certificate.
- The electronic device has a communication circuit and a processor.
- The processor confirms an authentication event for communication-related security data.
- It verifies the communication-related security data stored in a designated area of the device.
- The processor transmits a certificate request message to an authentication server.
- The certificate request message includes the confirmed communication-related security data.
- The device receives a certificate from the authentication server.
- The certificate is generated based on the communication-related security data in the request message.
- The device authenticates the use authority of the communication-related security data using the received certificate.
Potential Applications
- Secure communication devices
- Authentication systems
- Network security
Problems Solved
- Ensuring the authenticity and security of communication-related data
- Preventing unauthorized access to communication systems
Benefits
- Enhanced security for communication-related data
- Efficient authentication process
- Protection against unauthorized use of communication-related data
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device and an authentication method in the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a communication circuit; and at least one processor operatively connected to the communication circuit. The at least one processor may be configured to confirm the occurrence of an authentication event for communication-related security data; in response to the occurrence of the authentication event, confirm at least one piece of communication-related security data stored in a designated area of the electronic device; transmit a certificate request message including the at least one confirmed piece of communication-related security data, to an authentication server by means of the communication circuit; receive a certificate, generated based on at least one communication-related security data included in the transmitted certificate request message from the authentication server through the communication circuit; and authenticate use authority of the communication-related security data, based on the received certificate.
