CELLULAR NETWORK AUTHENTICATION USING A MEMORY SECURITY TOKEN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240205675 titled 'CELLULAR NETWORK AUTHENTICATION USING A MEMORY SECURITY TOKEN
The disclosed embodiments relate to authenticating devices to a cellular network. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed comprising reading a mobile identifier from a storage area of a memory device, the mobile identifier comprising a value associated with a subscriber of a cellular network; signing the mobile identifier using a private key to generate a digital signature, the private key generated using a physically unclonable function (PUF); transmitting the digital signature and a public key to a cellular network, the public key associated with the private key; and receiving, from the cellular network, a confirmation of access to the cellular network, the confirmation generated based on the public key and the digital signature.
- Mobile identifier read from memory storage
- Digital signature generated using private key and PUF
- Transmission of digital signature and public key to cellular network
- Confirmation of access received from cellular network
- Public key associated with private key
Potential Applications: - Secure authentication for devices on cellular networks - Prevent unauthorized access to cellular networks - Enhance network security and data protection
Problems Solved: - Mitigating risks of unauthorized access to cellular networks - Ensuring only legitimate subscribers can access the network - Protecting sensitive subscriber information
Benefits: - Improved network security - Enhanced subscriber privacy - Reduced risk of fraudulent activities on the network
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Device Authentication for Cellular Networks This technology can be utilized by telecommunications companies to enhance the security of their cellular networks, ensuring only authorized devices can access the network. It can also be integrated into IoT devices to provide secure connectivity to cellular networks.
Questions about Secure Device Authentication for Cellular Networks: 1. How does this technology improve network security?
