Patent number: 11146398Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described herein for improved communications between a service and end devices via a gateway. A token may be in a signed encrypted state when sent to untrusted devices and may be signed, but not encrypted, when used by trusted devices. Untrusted devices may receive the encrypted token and may use it to access services. An untrusted device may send the received encrypted token to the gateway, which may then send the token to its issuer so that the token issuer may decrypt the data payload. The token may then be sent back to the gateway, which may then read the decrypted data and verify whether the untrusted device is permitted to access the requested service. The gateway may then send, within the trusted domain, the request and token to the service provider so that the untrusted device can obtain access to the requested service.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2019Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Asad Haque, Ahmad Al Tamimi, Liesheng Long, Thomas Hughes, III
