  • Patent number: 10594696
    Abstract: A user device may request access to a service provided by an application server. The application server may request that an identity server authenticate the user device. The identity server may have a network authentication system assist with the authentication of the user device. Once authenticated by the network authentication system, the application server may be informed and may grant the user device access to the requested service. Additionally, the identity server may help determine whether the user device is a security threat by comparing user information from the network authentication system with user information from the application server. Additionally, the network authentication system may provide the application server with user information to enable the application server to automatically register the user device for a particular service.

  • Patent number: 9930037
    Abstract: A system may receive a content request associated with a user device. The content request may include information that identifies a subscriber associated with the user device and information that identifies a content provider associated with the content request. The system may determine a unique identification header (UIDH), associated with the subscriber, based on the content request. The system may determine randomized information associated with encrypting the UIDH. The system may encrypt the UIDH to create a transactional identifier. The UIDH may be encrypted based on the randomized information and a shared key. The system may insert the transactional identifier and the randomized information in the content request to create a modified content request. The system may provide the modified content request including the transactional identifier and the randomized information.

  • Patent number: 9848309
    Abstract: A device may receive an identifier for a subscriber of a first network. The subscriber may be associated with the device. The device may store the identifier and receive a request for content. The device may generate a modified request by adding the identifier to the request. The device may send the modified request using a network communication. The network communication may communicate via a second network without using the first network, and the first network may be different than the second network. The device may receive the content and targeted content based on the modified request. The targeted content may be targeted to the subscriber based on the identifier.

  • Patent number: 9313627
    Abstract: A multimedia messaging service (MMS) center (MMSC) receives an MMS message associated with forwarding multimedia content, associated with a source device, to a recipient device. The multimedia content is tagged with tagging data that is generated based on a numerical key. The MMSC parses the modified MMS message to determine the source device and the tagging data. MMSC uses the tagging data to determine the sending device using the tagging data. For example, the MMSC may access an identifier for the sending device, as stored by a subscriber profile controller, using the tagging data and/or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) interface. The MMSC determines whether the source device associated with the MMS message corresponds to the sending device (e.g., whether the MMS message correctly identifies the sending device), and the MMSC discards the MMS message when the source device and the sending device differ.

  • Patent number: 9037861
    Abstract: A data source may be configured to provide usage data including subscriber identifiers and associated information indicative of subscriber device locations and usage. A data warehouse server may be configured to perform operations including: decrypting subscriber identifiers included in usage data received from the data source using a two-way rolling key groups algorithm; re-encrypting the subscriber identifiers decrypted from the usage data to create secure encrypted identifiers using a one-way secured encryption algorithm; and correlating the subscriber identifiers in the decrypted usage data with the corresponding re-encrypted identifiers.
