Method for Protecting Terminal Parameter Update and Communication Apparatus - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936634 titled 'Method for Protecting Terminal Parameter Update and Communication Apparatus

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method where a User Data Management (UDM) system sends a protection request message to a first Authentication Server Function (AUSF). The UDM receives a response message from the first AUSF, which contains the protected terminal parameters update information. The UDM then sends this information to an Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) corresponding to a first serving network. The protection request message is used to safeguard the terminal parameters update information and includes both the update information itself and details about the first serving network.

  • The patent application describes a method for protecting terminal parameters update information during communication between different network functions.
  • The User Data Management (UDM) system initiates the protection request message and sends it to the first Authentication Server Function (AUSF).
  • The first AUSF responds to the UDM with a message containing the protected terminal parameters update information.
  • The UDM then forwards this protected information to the Access and Mobility Management Function (AMF) associated with the first serving network.
  • The protection request message includes both the terminal parameters update information and information about the first serving network.
  • The purpose of this method is to ensure the security and integrity of the terminal parameters update information during transmission.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various telecommunications networks where terminal parameters need to be updated securely.
  • It can be used in 5G networks or other advanced mobile networks where frequent updates to terminal parameters are required.

Problems Solved

  • The method addresses the problem of protecting terminal parameters update information during communication between different network functions.
  • It ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the update information, preventing unauthorized access or tampering.

Benefits

  • The method provides a secure way to transmit terminal parameters update information within a network.
  • It helps maintain the privacy and integrity of the update information, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or manipulation.
  • By protecting the terminal parameters update information, the method enhances the overall security of the network.


Original Abstract Submitted

A UDM sends a protection request message to a first AUSF; and the UDM receives a response message that is of the protection request message and that is sent by the first AUSF, and sends terminal parameters update information via an AMF corresponding to a first serving network, where the protection request message requests to protect the terminal parameters update information, and the protection request message carries the terminal parameters update information and information about the first serving network.
