This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958923 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR DERIVING SECURITY KEYS FOR A CELLULAR NETWORK BASED ON PERFORMANCE OF AN EXTENSIBLE AUTHENTICATION PROTOCOL (EAP) PROCEDURE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes techniques for wireless communication using an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) procedure. The method involves performing the EAP procedure between a user equipment (UE) and an authentication server via an authenticator. 

* The EAP procedure is based on authentication credentials exchanged between the UE and the authentication server.
* During the EAP procedure, a master session key (MSK) and an extended master session key (EMSK) are derived using the authentication credentials and a set of parameters.
* The network type associated with the authenticator is determined.
* Based on the determined network type, at least one authentication procedure is performed with the authenticator.
* The authentication procedure is based on the association of the MSK or the EMSK with the determined network type.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Wireless communication systems and networks
* Secure authentication and authorization processes
* Mobile devices and applications requiring secure wireless communication

Problems solved by this technology:

* Ensures secure wireless communication by performing authentication procedures based on the derived session keys and network type
* Provides a standardized and extensible authentication protocol for wireless communication
* Enhances the security and reliability of wireless communication systems

Benefits of this technology:

* Improved security and privacy in wireless communication
* Efficient and reliable authentication procedures
* Compatibility with various network types and authentication servers


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Techniques are described for wireless communication. A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) includes performing an extensible authentication protocol (EAP) procedure with an authentication server via an authenticator. The EAP procedure is based at least in part on a set of authentication credentials exchanged between the UE and the authentication server. The method also includes deriving, as part of performing the EAP procedure, a master session key (MSK) and an extended master session key (EMSK) that are based at least in part on the authentication credentials and a first set of parameters; determining a network type associated with the authenticator; and performing, based at least in part on the determined network type, at least one authentication procedure with the authenticator. The at least one authentication procedure is based on an association of the MSK or the EMSK with the determined network type.
