Benefits: The innovation offers enhanced security, faster data rates, and improved efficiency in wireless communication systems, leading to better user experiences and increased reliability.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be utilized by telecom companies, IoT device manufacturers, and other industries that rely on wireless communication for their operations. It can lead to the development of more advanced and secure communication systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the generation of a temporary identifier based on the SUPI improve authentication in wireless communication systems? 2. What are the potential implications of using random variables in the temporary identifier for security purposes?
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to a 5G communication system or a 6G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4G communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). A method performed by a first network entity in a wireless communication system includes receiving an authentication acquisition response message including a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI) of a user equipment (UE) from a second network entity, generating a temporary identifier for the UE based on the SUPI, and transmitting an authentication response message including the temporary identifier to a third network entity, wherein the temporary identifier includes a variable filed which is generated as a random variable.
