SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE-BASED AUTHENTICATION FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18189699 titled 'SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE-BASED AUTHENTICATION FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes how an operating system in a cellular endpoint device can authenticate with a cellular network using a subscriber identity module-based authentication message exchange.
- The operating system receives an authentication request from a third-party application provider.
- It sends an entitlement request to the cellular network based on the authentication request.
- The operating system obtains an authorization indicator from the cellular network.
- It confirms the authentication to the third-party application after receiving the authorization indicator.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Authentication process between operating system and cellular network.
- Use of subscriber identity module-based authentication message exchange.
- Seamless integration with third-party applications.
- Secure authorization indicator retrieval process.
- Efficient confirmation of authentication to applications.
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as telecommunications, mobile applications, and IoT devices.
Problems Solved:
- Streamlining authentication processes.
- Enhancing security measures.
- Facilitating communication between operating systems and cellular networks.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience.
- Enhanced data security.
- Efficient authorization procedures.
- Seamless integration with third-party applications.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in mobile devices, IoT devices, and other cellular endpoint devices to enhance security and streamline authentication processes, potentially leading to increased user trust and satisfaction.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the overall user experience in cellular endpoint devices? 2. What are the potential security implications of using subscriber identity module-based authentication message exchange in this context?
Original Abstract Submitted
An operating system provided by a processing system including at least one processor of a cellular endpoint device may obtain an authentication request from an application of a third party application provider and may transmit an entitlement request to a cellular network in accordance with a subscriber identity module-based authentication message exchange, in response to the authentication request. The operating system may then obtain an authorization indicator from the cellular network, in accordance with the subscriber identity module-based authentication message exchange, and may provide an authentication confirmation to the application in response to the obtaining of the authorization indicator.
