  • APPLICATION PROTOCOL QUERY FOR SECURING GBA USAGE
    Publication number: 20160344744
    Abstract: A network element provides an application service to a device over a network. Using a shared key generated according to the Generic Bootstrapping Architecture (GBA), the network element authenticates a request message sent from the device. The network element sends to the device a response indicating a successful authentication. The response includes information that indicates one or more supported protocols for establishing a communication session between the device and the network element.
