Patent number: 10594696Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing IncInventors: Guanqun Bao, Brian Libonate, Raymond C.

Patent number: 9930037Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2015Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Brian Libonate, Praveen Atreya, Thomas W.

Patent number: 9848309Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Brian Libonate, Stephen D.

Patent number: 9313627Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Sethumadhav Bendi, Amol Tuli, Brian Libonate, Paul H.
