USER DEFINED NETWORK SERVICE AUTHORIZATION BASED ON SECONDARY IDENTITY CREDENTIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031808 titled 'USER DEFINED NETWORK SERVICE AUTHORIZATION BASED ON SECONDARY IDENTITY CREDENTIALS

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes techniques for performing user-defined network (UDN) service authorization based on secondary identity credentials within a wireless network. The techniques involve receiving a first request from a user device to access a wireless network, which includes primary access credentials. Once primary access authentication is complete, a second request is received from the user device to access a UDN group within the wireless network, which includes secondary credentials. In response to the second request, a secondary EAP dialogue is established to authenticate the user device using the secondary credentials. Once authenticated, the user device is granted access to the UDN group.

  • Techniques for performing user-defined network (UDN) service authorization based on secondary identity credentials within a wireless network.
  • Receiving a first request from a user device to access a wireless network, including primary access credentials.
  • Establishing primary access authentication for the user device.
  • Receiving a second request from the user device to access a UDN group within the wireless network, including secondary credentials.
  • Establishing a secondary EAP dialogue to authenticate the user device using the secondary credentials.
  • Granting the user device access to the UDN group once the secondary credentials are authenticated.

Potential Applications

  • Wireless networks with user-defined network (UDN) groups.
  • Secure access control for UDN groups within a wireless network.
  • User authentication using secondary identity credentials.

Problems Solved

  • Providing secure access control for user-defined network (UDN) groups within a wireless network.
  • Authenticating user devices using secondary identity credentials.
  • Enabling user-defined network (UDN) service authorization within a wireless network.

Benefits

  • Enhanced security for accessing user-defined network (UDN) groups within a wireless network.
  • Improved user authentication using secondary identity credentials.
  • Flexibility in defining and managing UDN groups within a wireless network.


Original Abstract Submitted

this disclosure describes techniques and mechanisms for performing user defined network (udn) service authorization based on secondary identity credentials within a wireless network. for instance, the techniques may include receiving, from a user device, a first request to access a wireless network (e.g., such as a wlan), where the first request may include primary access credentials for accessing the wlan. once primary access authentication of the user device is complete, the techniques may include receiving a second request from the user device to access a udn group within the wireless network. the second request can include secondary credentials for accessing the udn group. in response to the second request, a secondary eap dialogue may be established to authenticate the user device using the secondary credentials. once the secondary credentials are authenticated, the techniques may include granting the user device access to the udn group.
