METHODS, ENTITIES AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR NON-3GPP ACCESS AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18265443 titled 'METHODS, ENTITIES AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR NON-3GPP ACCESS AUTHENTICATION

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes methods, entities, and computer readable media for non-3GPP access authentication.

  • Receiving an authentication request message from a Non-3GPP access point for a User Equipment (UE) with the UE's identity.
  • Translating the authentication request message from the first protocol type to a corresponding message of a second protocol type.
  • Transmitting the translated authentication request message to an authentication entity for verification.
    • Potential Applications:**

- Mobile network security - Authentication in non-3GPP networks

    • Problems Solved:**

- Authentication of User Equipment in non-3GPP networks - Secure communication between different protocol types

    • Benefits:**

- Improved security for non-3GPP access points - Seamless authentication process for User Equipment in different networks


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides methods, entities, and computer readable media for non-3GPP access authentication. The method () at a protocol translation entity includes: receiving (S), from a Non-3GPP access point, an authentication request message of a first protocol type for a UE that includes an identity of the UE; translating (S) the authentication request message of the first protocol type to a corresponding authentication request message of a second protocol type; and transmitting (S), to an entity for authentication, the corresponding authentication request message of a second protocol type that includes the identity of the UE.
