  • Patent number: 11722473
    Abstract: A communication device of a communication network receives, via a network, a challenge, generates a first Diffie Hellman, DH, parameter, a first verification code for the first DH parameter, forwards the challenge or a derivative thereof to an identity module, receives at least one result parameter as response from the identity module, determines, based on the result parameter, whether the first DH parameter is authentic, and if the first DH parameter is authentic, generates and sends a second DH parameter to the network device for session key generation based on the first DH parameter and the second DH parameter.

  • Patent number: 10356619
    Abstract: A user equipment receives an Extensible Authentication Protocol Authentication and Key Agreement Prime (EAP AKA?) message, from an authentication server related to the user equipment, in an authentication procedure being part of setting up a connection from the user equipment through an access network. The user equipment sets up an IP Security tunnel between the user equipment and an evolved Packet Data Gateway responsive to the EAP AKA? message indicating that the access network is untrusted.

  • Patent number: 9949118
    Abstract: When setting up communication from a user equipment UE (1), such as for providing IP access for the UE in order to allow it to use some service, information or an indication of at least one network property relating to a first network, e.g. the current access network (3, 3?), is sent to the UE from a node (13) in a second network such as the home network (5) of the subscriber of the UE. The information or indication can be sent in a first stage of an authentication procedure being part of the setting up of a connection from the UE. In particular, the network property can indicate whether the access network (3, 3?) is trusted or not.

  • Publication number: 20150079941
    Abstract: There is described a device for communicating with a network. The device receives a series of paging messages from a serving node in the network, where each paging message includes identification and authentication information sufficient to identify at least one device and authenticate the message, at least some of the information having been protected according to a sequence such that it varies between successive paging messages. The device verifies the protected part of the information using a cryptographic function and knowledge of the sequence and identifies whether the information indicates that message is an authentic message intended for that device. The device may act in response to the received paging message.

  • Patent number: 8819765
    Abstract: A method and arrangement for distributing a security policy to a communication terminal having an association with a home communication network, but being present in a visited communication network. The home communication network generates its own preferred security policy Ph and the visited communication network generates its own preferred security policy Pv. A communication network entity in the visited communication network combines the security policies and selects security algorithms and/or functions to apply from the combined security policy. By generating security policy vectors of both networks and combining them before the security algorithms are selected, both networks are able to influence the selection without requiring the use of signaling messages.
