摘要:
In one embodiment, the method performed by mobile equipment to authenticate communication with a network includes generating keys using cellular authentication and voice encryption, and then generating an authentication key based on these keys. The authentication key is used to generate an expected message authentication code used in authenticating the network according to authentication and key agreement security protocol.

A method for wireless communications with mobile stations located within a femtocell is described. The method includes registering a femtocell with an IMS core network to receive IMS services for one or more mobile stations located within the femtocell, and separately registering the mobile station with an application server to provide additional services to the mobile station located within the femtocell. The additional services may be CDMA services. Also, registering the femtocell with the IMS core network may include transmitting femtocell registration information that does not include information regarding the mobile station to the IMS core network to request IMS services for the mobile station.

The present invention provides a method involving a femtocell in communication with an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network. In one embodiment, the femtocell operates according to code division multiple access (CDMA) standards. The method includes receiving, from the femtocell and at a first secure entity in the IMS network, first authentication information generated by the mobile unit using a first random number broadcast by the femtocell in a global challenge. The method also includes receiving, from a second secure entity in the secure network, at least one security key formed based on the global challenge and second authentication information for uniquely challenging the mobile unit. In one embodiment, the second secure entity is a CDMA-based authentication server. The method further includes providing the security key(s) to the femtocell in response to authenticating the mobile unit based upon the second authentication information.

Example embodiments provide a method for performing handovers and key management while performing handovers. The method includes communicating a random handover seed key protected by a secure protocol from a core component of a network to a user equipment. The secure protocol prevents the random handover seed key from being learned by base stations supported by the core component of the network. The secure protocol may be non-access stratum signaling of an evolved packet system environment for wireless communications.

The present invention provides a method of generating a public long code mask. The method includes generating a code mask for coding transmissions over a traffic channel based on at least one frequency differentiator indicative of a frequency range, at least one band class differentiator indicative of a band class, and at least one traffic channel differentiator indicative of a traffic channel.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for performing authentication in a communications system is provided. The method includes receiving a request for authentication from a server, the request for authentication including a first and a second random challenge, and comparing the first random challenge and the second random challenge. The method further includes denying the request for authentication in response to determining that the first random challenge is substantially the same as the second random challenge, and transmitting an encoded value to the server in response to determining that the first random challenge is different from the second random challenge, wherein the encoded value is generated based on the first and second random challenge and a key that is not shared with the server.

The present invention provides a method of key material generation in which the key material is used to authenticate communication for user equipment and at least one network application function. The method includes providing a bootstrapping identifier associated with first key material and a first random number, receiving information indicative of a second random number, and forming second key material based upon the first key material, the first random number, and the second random number.
摘要:
A method is provided for determining a private key for a first network based on at least one security value associated with a second network. The method further includes establishing a plurality of sessions between a mobile terminal and the first network based on the private key.
摘要:
In the method for establishing a session key, a network and a mobile transfer codes between one another. The mobile and the network perform mutual authentication based on the codes. Besides performing this mutual authentication, the mobile and the network to establish the session key based on the codes. In one embodiment, the messages forming part of the intended session are sent with the codes, and form a basis upon which the codes for authentication have been derived.
