MULTISESSION PAP/CHAP SUPPORT FOR WWC - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240236670 titled 'MULTISESSION PAP/CHAP SUPPORT FOR WWC

The abstract describes a method for providing multiple sets of legacy credentials to be applied to one subscription in a 5th generation (5G) system when a subscriber initiates via legacy wireline access to the 5G system, with each communication session requiring different credentials.

  • Receiving legacy wireline access from the subscriber at a gateway function of the 5G system.
  • Registering the subscriber and identifying the subscriber subscription based on line identification (ID).
  • Receiving subscription information from a subscription data structure of the 5G system.
  • Initiating multiple communications sessions between the subscriber and the 5G system by authenticating each session based on the line ID, relating the line ID to additional subscriber credentials stored in the subscription data structure, and applying additional subscriber credentials for authorization of individual communications sessions.

Potential Applications: - Enhancing security in 5G systems by allowing multiple sets of credentials for different communication sessions. - Streamlining the authentication process for subscribers accessing the 5G system via legacy wireline access.

Problems Solved: - Simplifying the management of credentials for multiple communication sessions in a 5G system. - Improving security measures for subscribers accessing the 5G system through legacy wireline access.

Benefits: - Increased security for communication sessions in a 5G system. - Enhanced user experience by providing a seamless authentication process for subscribers.

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Security and Authentication Method for 5G Systems This technology could be utilized by telecommunications companies to improve the security and user experience for subscribers accessing 5G networks through legacy wireline access. It could also be integrated into various IoT devices and applications to ensure secure communication sessions.

Questions about Enhanced Security and Authentication Method for 5G Systems: 1. How does this method improve security in 5G systems compared to traditional authentication methods? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for IoT devices and applications?


Original Abstract Submitted

a method of providing multiple sets of legacy credentials to be applied to one subscription in a 5th generation (5g) system, where a subscriber initiates via legacy wireline access to the 5g system, multiple communications sessions each requiring respective different credential. the method comprises receiving, at a gateway function of the 5g system, subscriber legacy wireline access via a gateway node of the subscriber, registering the subscriber and identifying the subscriber subscription based on line identification (id). in response to registering the subscriber, receiving subscription information from a subscription data structure of the 5g system; and initiating the multiple communications sessions between the subscriber and the 5g system by having the gateway function authenticate each of the communications sessions based on the line id, relate the line id to additional subscriber credentials stored in the subscription data structure, and apply additional subscriber credentials for authorization of respective individual communications sessions.
