NETWORK API CREDENTIALS WITHIN A TRANSLATION SESSION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824842 titled 'NETWORK API CREDENTIALS WITHIN A TRANSLATION SESSION

Simplified Explanation

The system described in this patent application is a network API gateway that assigns credentials to a call made to an operator network. This call is initiated by an application based on a request it receives. The credentials are used by an operator API to authenticate the call.

  • The network API gateway creates and uses a connectivity representation to assign credentials to the call.
  • The credentials are generated by the application making the request and are passed to the network API gateway during a translation session.
  • The translation session is a specific time interval, such as five minutes.
  • By passing the credentials during the translation session, the application no longer needs to manage credentials for each individual request.
  • This simplifies the developer's task of managing credentials for each request made by the application.


Original Abstract Submitted

The system disclosed herein is composed of a network API gateway that is configured to assign credentials to a call to an operator network. The call is initiated based on a request received from an application. The credentials are used by an operator API to authenticate the call. The network API gateway creates and uses a connectivity representation as a basis for assigning the credentials to the call. The credentials are generated by the application making the request and the credentials are passed to the network API gateway as part of a translation session (e.g., five minute time interval) during which the network API gateway translates requests for the application. Consequently, each request sent by the application to the network API gateway during the translation session no longer needs its own credentials, and thus, the developer is released from the requirement of managing credentials for each request.
