METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATION AND KEY MANAGEMENT IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND RELATED APPARATUSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18466261 titled 'METHODS FOR AUTHENTICATION AND KEY MANAGEMENT IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK AND RELATED APPARATUSES
Simplified Explanation
Abstract Explanation
The abstract describes a method performed by a network server for authentication and key management for a terminal device in a wireless communication network. The method involves authenticating the terminal device, obtaining a key, and generating bootstrapping security parameters.
- The method authenticates the terminal device during a primary authentication session.
- If the authentication is successful, a first key is obtained.
- Bootstrapping security parameters are generated, which include a second key derived from the first key and a temporary identifier.
- The temporary identifier is used to identify the terminal device and the bootstrapping security parameters.
Potential Applications
- Wireless communication networks
- Terminal devices in wireless networks
- Network server authentication and key management
Problems Solved
- Ensuring secure authentication and key management for terminal devices in wireless networks
- Generating bootstrapping security parameters for secure communication
Benefits
- Enhanced security for terminal devices in wireless networks
- Efficient authentication and key management process
- Secure communication between network server and terminal devices
Original Abstract Submitted
A method performed by a network server is provided for authentication and key management for a terminal device in a wireless communication network. The method includes authenticating the terminal device during a primary authentication session for the terminal device. The method further includes responsive to a successful authentication of the terminal device, obtaining a first key. The method further includes generating bootstrapping security parameters. The parameters include a second key derived from the first key and a temporary identifier. The temporary identifier identifies the terminal device and the bootstrapping security parameters.
