Method, system and computer program product for secure ticketing in a communications device. In particular, the method, system and computer program product utilizes cryptography and an external, read-write security element to securely transmit and store critical data utilized by users of a communications device. Using the present invention, third-parties can prevent the fraudulent use of third-party services without detection.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, system and computer program where an apparatus stores user specific credentials, receives a certificate via the communication interface from a certificate authority and stores the certificate in the memory. The apparatus further stores a private key and a public key in the memory and attempts authenticating of the apparatus to a ticket reader for accessing a service, by transmission of one or more messages, wherein the messages contain an authenticator that has at least one of the following: the certificate or its cryptographic derivative; one or more data items contained by the certificate or a cryptographic derivative thereof. The messages are prepared such that the public key is not recoverable from outside of the authenticator.
摘要:
A method for authenticating communicating parties is disclosed. In the method biometric information associated with a first party is generated based on a recording of the first party presenting a predefined input parameter. Said biometric information may then be transmitted to a second party. Authenticity of a security parameter associated with the first party can then be verified based on said biometric information.

An approach is provided for performing authentication in a communication system. In one embodiment, a key is established with a terminal in a communication network according to a key agreement protocol. The agreed key is tied to an authentication procedure to provide a security association that supports reuse of the key. A master key is generated based on the agreed key. In another embodiment, digest authentication is combined with key exchange parameters (e.g., Diffie-Hellman parameters) in the payload of the digest message, in which a key (e.g., SMEKEY or MN-AAA) is utilized as a password. In yet another embodiment, an authentication algorithm (e.g., Cellular Authentication and Voice Encryption (CAVE)) is employed with a key agreement protocol with conversion functions to support bootstrapping.

An approach is provided for determining one or more social networks. A processor may then process and/or facilitate a processing of access information associated with one or more files, wherein access to the one or more files is based, at least in part, on the one or more social networks.

A method includes identifying an application installed on a device as an authorized application of a certain domain, the application being signed with a private key; deriving a signer identity using a public key that forms a key pair with the private key; mapping the certain domain to another domain using a deterministic function map; making a request to the another domain to obtain a list of signer identities that are authorized to act on behalf of the certain domain; determining whether the signer of the application is in the list and, if it is, authorizing the application to act with the same privileges as granted in the certain domain. Apparatus and computer programs for performing the method are also disclosed.
摘要:
A system and method for efficiently enabling local security connectivity between electronic devices over multiple bearers. Electronic devices are configured to advertise, over each bearer, their respective configuration parameters for each bearer. After a connection has been established between the electronic devices over a first bearer, the two electronic devices use the first bearer to establish connections over the other bearers using the configuration parameters contained in the advertisements and advertised over the first bearer. Shared keys are established for the other bearers either using keys derived from the first shared key or by using the first secure connection as an out-of-band channel. The present invention also provides for the creation of an ad hoc WLAN connection once a Bluetooth connection has been established.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for credential transfer. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a first device, an authorization token; determining, at the first device, a delegation token, one or more credentials, and metadata; and providing, by the first device to a second device, the delegation token, the one or more credentials, and the metadata. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and a system of securely storing data on a network (100) for access by an authorized domain (101, 102, 103), which authorized domain includes at least two devices that share a confidential domain key (K), and an authorized domain management system for securely storing data on a network for access by an authorized domain. The present invention enables any member device to store protected data on the network such that any other member device can access the data in plaintext without having to communicate with the device that actually stored the data.
摘要:
A system and method for authenticating a terminal in a communication system is described. The method includes executing a terminal authentication protocol, whereby the executing the terminal authentication protocol includes authenticating an identity of a network entity by a terminal in a communication system. The method further includes executing a challenge authentication protocol, wherein the executing the challenge authentication protocol includes sharing challenge data between the terminal and the network entity, and forming at the terminal, test data by at least applying one authentication function to the challenge data using the identifier. The executing the challenge authentication protocol further includes transmitting a message including terminal authentication data from the terminal to the network entity, and determining, based on the terminal authentication data, whether to provide the terminal with access to a service.
