Abstract: A gateway device detects a trigger associated with a device and, in response, identifies an application service associated with the device, obtains a traffic network policy associated with the application service, and obtains a network access token based on the traffic network policy. The network access token facilitates validating and/or mapping a downlink data packet obtained at the gateway device in user-plane traffic that is destined for the device. The network access token is sent to an entity in control-plane signaling. Subsequently, the gateway device obtains a downlink data packet including the network access token. The gateway device verifies the network access token and/or maps the downlink data packet to the device using data obtained from the network access token. The network access token may be removed from the downlink data packet before the downlink data packet is sent to the device according to the mapping.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. Generally, the described techniques provide for efficiently protecting communications between a base station and a UE with limited signaling and processing overhead. As described herein, a base station may generate a system information security container (SISC) including integrity information of one or more system information blocks (SIBs), and the base station may transmit (e.g., broadcast) the SISC with a signature to one or more UEs (e.g., to protect the integrity information of the SIBs in the SISC). Once a UE receives the SISC, the UE may verify the signature of the SISC, identify the system information included in the SISC (e.g., the system information included in the integrity information of the SIBs), and apply the system information for communications with the base station.

Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for facilitating self-managed trust in Internet-of-Things networks are disclosed herein. An example method of trust management at a network manager includes enrolling a network endpoint with a network managed by the network manager. The example method also includes receiving trusted reference information for the network endpoint based on enrolling the network endpoint. Additionally, the example method includes performing verification of the network endpoint based on at least one of the trusted reference information or an attestation received from the network endpoint. Further, the example method includes enforcing policies to the network endpoint based on a result of the verification. Such trust management may improve privacy and security at the network, as well as reduce latency in responding to trust incidents.

Abstract: One aspect relates to initiating, by a device, a connection with an application server associated with one or more application services. A gateway derives an uplink network token and/or a downlink network token. The tokens are provisioned to the device and/or an application server over the user-plane. The tokens are included with uplink and/or downlink packets, respectively. Another aspect relates to receiving a data packet at a gateway. The gateway determines a requirement for a network token from the packet. The gateway derives the network token based on a device subscription profile maintained by a network. The network token may be sent with the packet to a destination address associated with the packet. A packet including a network token may be received at a gateway. The gateway may verify the network token and send the data packet to an application server or a device if the verifying is successful.
