APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SSP DEVICE AND SERVER TO NEGOTIATE DIGITAL CERTIFICATES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240121603 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SSP DEVICE AND SERVER TO NEGOTIATE DIGITAL CERTIFICATES

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for a local bundle assistant (LBA) to negotiate a certificate with a secondary platform bundle manager (SPBM) in a wireless communication system. The method involves transmitting a request message to a secondary platform bundle loader (SPBL) of a secondary secure platform (SSP) to obtain information about certificates supported by the SSP, transmitting this information to the SPBM, and receiving a certificate from the SPBM for key agreement.

  • Transmit request message to SPBL of SSP for certificate information
  • Receive certificate information from SPBL including certificate issuers and family identifier
  • Transmit certificate information to SPBM
  • Receive certificate from SPBM for key agreement, along with public key identifiers and family identifier

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in secure communication systems, IoT devices, and network authentication processes.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of securely negotiating certificates between different platforms in a wireless communication system.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, streamlined certificate negotiation processes, and improved interoperability between platforms.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include secure messaging apps, IoT security solutions, and network security software.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of certificate negotiation protocols in secure communication systems.

Unanswered Questions

1. How does this technology handle certificate revocation and renewal processes? 2. What are the potential scalability challenges when negotiating certificates between multiple platforms simultaneously?


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of a local bundle assistant (lba) negotiating a certificate with a secondary platform bundle manager (spbm) in a wireless communication system including: transmitting a request message requesting information of certificates supported by a secondary secure platform (ssp) to a secondary platform bundle loader (spbl) of the ssp; receiving the information of certificates supported by the ssp including information of certificate issuers corresponding to a family identifier from the spbl; transmitting the information of certificates supported by the ssp to the spbm; and receiving a certificate of the spbm for key agreement, information of public key identifiers of certificate issuers to be used by the ssp, and information of the family identifier from the spbm.
