This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336948 titled 'Authentication Management Method for Non-3GPP Access of a UE Device to a 5G Network
Original Abstract Submitted
A core network server for defining authentication credentials and authenticating a wireless communication device according to WIFI communication protocols includes a central processing unit (CPU) and a non-transitory memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the CPU, causes the core network server to receive an encrypted authentication request from a wireless communication device; send the encrypted authentication request to an authentication server based on one or more attributes in the encrypted authentication request; receive an indicator of a specialized network slice associated with the wireless communication device based on sending the encrypted authentication request; communicate authentication messages to the wireless communication device according to one or more network functions of the specialized network slice; and authenticate the wireless communication device according to the specialized network slice responsive to communicating the authentication messages.
