Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for mutual authentication between a station, having a digital rights agent, and a secure removable media device. The digital rights agent is configured to initiate mutual authentication by sending a message to the secure removable media device. The secure removable media device is configured to encrypt at least a first random number using a public key associated with the digital rights agent. The digital rights agent is configured to decrypt the encrypted first random number, and encrypt at least a second random number and a first hash based on at least the first random number. The secure removable media device is configured to decrypt the encrypted second random number and the first hash, verifie the first hash to authenticate the digital rights agent, and generate a second hash based on at least the second random number. The digital rights agent is configured to verify the second hash to authenticate the secure removable media device.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are presented herein for improved operation of a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) of one or more user equipment (UE). For example, an example method of wireless communications is presented, which may include monitoring, by a UE, one or more items received from a UICC of the UE during a UICC operation. In addition, the example method may also include determining that at least one of (a) a number of the one or more items having a first item type exceeds a threshold number, or (b) an elapsed time since the UICC operation started exceeds a threshold time. Moreover, the example method may include providing, based on the determining, a notification to a user interface associated with the UE indicating that the UICC operation is ongoing.
