  • Patent number: 9614640
    Abstract: A base station in a cellular radio network and user equipment assigned to a cell are linked by an air interface for communication on a respective communication channel in a communication band. The same communication band is common to at least one of the cells and to the user equipment on the respective communication channel of a cell. A jamming transmitter is detected by decoding a cell, by way of successful reading of control information of the cell, detecting a wideband power parameter representative of the communication band, and detecting a channel power parameter representative for a part of the communication band that is a communication channel. A narrowband jamming transmitter is indicated in the case that decoding of the cell failed, the wideband power parameter is not above a first threshold, and the channel power parameter is above a second threshold.

  • Patent number: 9615244
    Abstract: A first device stores a subscription manager and at least two subscriptions. A first subscription is active and a second subscription is non-active. A second device sends a request for switching to the second subscription. The subscription manager sets a first variable relating to a next active subscription to the second subscription. The subscription manager sends to the first device a message requesting the first device to re-launch an execution of the subscription manager and to read data. The first device sends to the subscription manager a message including a command for re-launching an execution of the subscription manager. The subscription manager de-activates, based upon the first variable value, the first subscription. The subscription manager activates, based upon the first variable value, the second subscription, and sends to the first device operating system data relating to the second subscription, as a current active subscription.

  • Publication number: 20170070353
    Abstract: A method for deploying credentials in a server and a client system including three devices. The second device has primary credentials including a public key, a private key and a primary certificate. After successful authentication of a user, the first device generates a new private key/public key pair and wraps the new private key. After successful authentication of the user, the second device derives a new certificate comprising the new public key, the new certificate having the same usage specified in the primary certificate. The second device signs the new certificate using the private key of the primary credentials. The third device forwards to the server the primary certificate and the new credentials combining the new public key, the wrapped private key and the new certificate. The server verifies the chain of trust of the new credentials and, in case of successful verification, associates the new credentials to the user.

  • Publication number: 20170032369
    Abstract: To authorize a data transaction, a terminal reads user account information from a device. The terminal sends, through a payment network, to a first server a request for authorizing a transaction accompanied with the account information. The first server sends to a device a request for a user approval relating to a transaction. The device requests whether the user approves a requested transaction authorization. Only if the user approves the requested transaction authorization, the device sends to the first server a request for authorizing a transaction and an identifier relating to the device. The first server retrieves, based upon the at identifier relating to the device, the account information. The first server sends to a second server a request for authorizing a transaction and the account information. The second server sends, through the first server and the payment network, to the terminal, either a transaction authorization or a transaction refusal.
