METHODS AND MEANS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO EXTERNAL NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240187860 titled 'METHODS AND MEANS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO EXTERNAL NETWORKS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods for providing a user equipment (UE) access to an external network by determining the need for a secondary authentication procedure and providing UE-related information to the external network entity during the authentication process.
- The patent application involves determining the requirement for a secondary authentication procedure for UE access to an external network.
- Information related to the UE is shared with the external network entity during the secondary authentication process.
- The UE-related information is included in a message exchanged between the UE and the external network entity during authentication.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in telecommunications, network security, and data privacy industries.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of ensuring secure access to external networks by implementing a secondary authentication procedure for user equipment.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security for UE access to external networks, improved data protection, and reduced risk of unauthorized access.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include network security solutions, telecommunications services, and data privacy software.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of multi-factor authentication methods in network security systems to enhance user access control.
What are the potential risks associated with implementing this technology in real-world scenarios?
One potential risk could be the complexity of the secondary authentication process leading to user inconvenience. Another risk could be the potential for data breaches if the UE-related information is not securely transmitted during authentication.
How does this technology compare to existing methods of providing UE access to external networks?
This technology improves security by implementing a secondary authentication procedure, which may be more robust than traditional single-factor authentication methods.
Original Abstract Submitted
methods and means for providing a ue access to an external network are disclosed. in the methods it is determined that a that a secondary authentication procedure is required in order for the ue to access the external network, and then providing, to an entity of the external network, information relating to the ue. the ue related information is included in a message in relation to the secondary authentication procedure between the ue and the entity of the external network.
