Abstract: A method of authenticating a secondary communication device based on authentication of a primary mobile communication device is disclosed. Trust is established with the primary mobile communication device by a device authentication server (DAS). The DAS receives an authorization code request from a secondary application operating on the secondary communication device, and transmits an authorization code to the secondary communication device. The DAS receives the authorization code from a primary application operating on the primary mobile communication device. The DAS authorizes the secondary application based on the trust with the primary mobile communication device and the authorization code from the primary application. The DAS transmits a secondary token to the secondary application at the secondary communication device to allow initialization of a communication session from the secondary application on behalf of the primary mobile communication device.

Abstract: A mobile communication device. The mobile communication device comprises a processor, a non-transitory memory, a subscriber identity module (SIM), wherein the SIM stores an encryption key, and a client application stored in the non-transitory memory. When executed by the processor, the client application transmits a server application authentication token request comprising an identity of the SIM, receives a message comprising a value, requests the SIM to encrypt the value using the encryption key stored by the SIM, receives an encrypted value from the SIM, transmits the encrypted value in a message, receives a server application authentication token, stores the server application authentication token in the non-transitory memory, transmits a server application access request comprising the server application authentication token, and conducts a communication session with the server application.

Abstract: A mobile communication device. The device comprises a client application that checks a non-transitory memory of the device for a web application access token corresponding to the client application, determines that the non-transitory memory does not store the web application access token, transmits a web application access token request via a cellular radio transceiver of the device to a Media Access Gateway (MAG), where the web application access token request comprises an identification of an Internet Protocol (IP) address allocated to the device when authenticating into a radio access network (RAN) by the cellular radio transceiver, receives a web application access token from the MAG, stores the web application access token in the non-transitory memory, and sends a request to access a web application comprising the web application access token to a web application server, where the web application server is different from the MAG.

Abstract: Discussed herein are systems and methods for detecting fraud, corruption, and malfunctions of applications on a user equipment by identifying and separating a software developer kit (SDK) from an application package and encasing the separated SDK in a wrapper to communicatively isolate it from the operating system and other elements of the UE. By monitoring and intercepting API calls from SDKs encased in wrappers, the UE determines what action to take based on an evaluation of the intercepted API calls.

Abstract: A method of managing a custom configuration manifest, comprising: collecting by an application configuration selections about a user equipment (UE) that are dynamically configured to create the custom configuration manifest; processing by a server the configuration selections and dynamically configuring the configuration selections to create the manifest; transmitting by the server the manifest to both the UE and a database with a plurality of custom configuration manifests; receiving by a custom configuration manifest handling application authorization through one or more authorization options, but not authentication credentials, to allow the manifest handling application to install preferred applications on the UE; installing by the manifest handling application the preferred applications on the UE without providing the authentication credentials; and customizing by the manifest handling application the UE based on the manifest.

Abstract: A method of identifying a subscribing customer of a service on a Wi-Fi network is disclosed, the method comprising, in response to selection of an application on a mobile communication device, the application designed to access a service, transmitting either a carrier IP address assigned to the mobile communication device or a media access control address assigned to the mobile communications device, the carrier IP address or media access control address embedded in a payload of an IP datagram over a Wi-Fi network to a server, confirming at the server that the carrier IP address or media access control address belongs to a subscribing customer for the service and that the account of the subscribing customer is in good standing, sending back from the server to the mobile communication device a transmission containing an authentication token, and, granting access to the service to the mobile communication device.

Abstract: Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for provisioning vehicle based digital rights management (DRM) for content delivered through a brought-in mobile device. Content may be delivered by the content provider to the vehicle via connection with the mobile device, wherein the content may be accessed using a computer system (or head unit) in the vehicle. Access to the content may be controlled or managed using a DRM package associated with a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle computer system including a processor and memory coupled to the processor is provided. The memory stores a plurality of vehicle applications and a vehicle application management program. The vehicle application management program, when executed by the processor, is configured to initiate restricted operations of the plurality of vehicle applications in accordance with a single digital rights payload received separately from the plurality of vehicle applications. The restricted operations of the plurality of vehicle applications comprise a multimedia operation and a remote access operation.
