Abstract: This application provides a network authentication method, a network device, a terminal device, and a storage medium. In one aspect, in this application, a network device generates a symmetric key by itself, and generates a correct sequence number of a terminal device in real time by using a first sequence number. In other words, in this application, the network device does not need to store the symmetric key and the correct sequence number of the terminal device, but generates the symmetric key and the correct sequence number of the terminal device in real time. Therefore, storage load of an HSS in the prior art can be reduced.

Abstract: A provisioning system for enabling a mobile communication device to operate as a financial presentation device (FPD) presentable to providers of goods or service is provided. The provisioning system relies on a transaction processing system that normally routes authorization requests from merchants to issuers of FPDs for purposes of authorizing FPD transactions. The transaction processing system stores security keys of all issuers in order to validate transaction data sent from the merchants. The provisioning system monitors authorization requests routed through the transaction processing system and retrieves an authorization request of a financial transaction initiated with a particular FPD. The provisioning system then transmits the FPD data contained in the retrieved authorization request and the security key stored in the transaction processing system to a secure memory element of the mobile communication device to enable the mobile communication device to operate as a FPD.

The tracking server receives a tracking device request from a mobile device. The tracking device request includes information identifying a tracking device and configuration instructions for configuring the tracking device. The tracking server identifies a community mobile device from the one or more community mobile devices within a proximity of the tracking device. The tracking server sends the tracking device request to the identified community mobile device. The identified community mobile device is configured to forward the tracking device request to the tracking device and the tracking device is configured to re-configure the tracking device based on the configuration instructions included in the tracking device request.

Abstract: A deregistration method of user equipment in a network and user equipment performing the same is disclosed. The user equipment determines whether the user equipment is in a connection management (CM)_CONNECTED state in a non-3GPP access network and initiates a deregistration procedure through the non-3GPP access network if the user equipment is in the CM_CONNECTED state in the non-3GPP access network.

Abstract: A device analyzes text messages, email, and/or other data for the purposes of suppressing the display of sensitive content on a lock screen. For example, a device may prevent a lock screen from displaying a notification indicating the arrival of a message containing sensitive information. Alternatively, the device may filter any sensitive information from a notification indicating the arrival of a message. The techniques disclosed herein improve the security of a device by preventing the display of sensitive information on a lock screen, while also improving the usability of lock screen notifications by allowing other information to be displayed. The techniques disclosed herein also improve the security of other systems using the device as part of a multi-factor authentication process.

Abstract: A method and system for customizing a mobile application running on a mobile communication device of a user. In one implementation, the method includes providing the mobile application to the mobile communication device of the user, the mobile application having a generic platform; determining a special interest group (SIG) that is affiliated with the user; and customizing the generic platform of the mobile application based on information specific to the special interest group (SIG) that is affiliated with the user.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to operate in dual connectivity (DC) and with split radio bearers, such that one or more split radio bearers are associated with a first cell group and one or more split radio bearers are associated with a second cell group. In some cases, a cell group failure may occur. Accordingly, the UE may autonomously update one or more radio bearer configurations of the one or more split radio bearers to determine a processing scheme for the cell group failure. Additionally or alternatively, as a result of the cell group failure, an amount of unacknowledged data in a radio link control (RLC) buffer for the second cell group may get stuck such that the network cannot access it. Accordingly, the UE may perform a PDCP data recovery (e.g., user plane handling) to access the unacknowledged data.
