  • Patent number: 11949674
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for authenticating a user device and/or user application. A user device may receive, based on a first authentication request, a plurality of messages sent over a plurality of channels of communication (e.g., a message to a URL address associated with the user device and a binary Short Message Service (SMS) message). Based on information from the messages, the user device may transmit a second authentication request.

  • Publication number: 20230328516
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a wireless communication service are disclosed. A device identifier for a wireless communication service can be used to generate a connection profile (e.g., communication profile, wide-area network profile, service profile, network profile, etc.) for the wireless communication service that requires credentials for authentication. The connection profile can be generated in response to a user accessing or signing up for the wireless communication service. The connection profile can comprise a username that includes and/or mirrors the device identifier and a password generated by inputting the device identifier into a predefined function. The connection profile also can comprise an authentication identifier. A service provider applies a specific type of authentication for devices that provide the authentication identifier as part of an authentication request message.

  • Publication number: 20220070172
    Abstract: A network (e.g., Wi-Fi network, Internet, a private network, a public network, a content delivery network, cellular network, etc.) may be configured to uniquely identifying a user device (e.g., a mobile device, a smart device, a computer/computing device, a client device, etc.) using a random identifier (e.g., a random Media Access Control (MAC) address, etc.) and provide the user device identity-based services based on a secure transfer and identification of a persistent identifier (e.g., a MAC address, etc.) of the user device. The identity-based services may include: login-less network connection and/or reconnection, one or more subscription services, parental controls, content/advertisement tracking, private network access (e.g., identifier-based routing to private SSIDs, etc.), and/or the like.

  • Publication number: 20200336515
    Abstract: Methods and systems related to supporting real time communications are disclosed. In one type of a real time communication session, prior to an offer and acceptance to perform real time communications, a communication channel may be established between a caller device and a callee device. Information related to addresses of the caller and callee devices can be contained in, or pointed to, by a Universal Resource Locators (URLs) for the caller and callee devices. A network computing device may communicate messages relating to establishing and maintaining the communication channel between the caller and callee devices. In a scenario where the network computing device becomes unavailable, another network computing device can use the URLs and other channel information that may be stored in the database, to handle messages.
