  • Publication number: 20240365126
    Abstract: A mobile device performs authentication with blinded tokens and swaps its international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value. For authentication with blinded tokens, the mobile device generates a blinded token and provides it to a server to encrypt. To redeem the token, the mobile device unblinds the encrypted blinded token and provides it to the server along with a public key. To complete authentication, the mobile device receives, from the server, a nonce encrypted with the public key and decrypts the nonce with a private key. For swapping its IMSI value, the mobile device retrieves two eSIM profiles with corresponding IMSI values and configures the first of the two profiles as active. In response to a trigger, the mobile device changes the active profile from the first to the second, swaps the first IMSI value with a new IMSI value, and changes the active profile back to the first profile.

  • Patent number: 8887292
    Abstract: A method for accessing a remote network includes identifying a content server associated with the remote network, generating a uniform resource locator, embedding additional data in the uniform resource locator, encrypting the uniform resource locator, and accessing a server in the remote network identified by the uniform resource locator. The method further includes wherein the additional data comprises authentication data, a delivery session identification, a time stamp, or comprises subscriber identification data. The URL may provide access to the content server for a time period indicated by the time stamp. The method includes wherein at least the subscriber identification data prevents unauthorized sharing of the URL.

  • Publication number: 20140040461
    Abstract: A method for inserting content through a service delivery hub includes the steps of designating a set of tags to be made available through an API, providing the API for use by third parties; intercepting a communication from the third party; interrogating the communication for a data tag, substituting content for the data tag and delivering the communication to an intended recipient. The method may further include that the content substituted for the data tag is dependent upon a parameter such as the MSISDN.
