  • Method and apparatus for initial certificate enrollment in a wireless communication system
    Patent number: 9882726
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for initial certification enrollment in a wireless communication system.

The first mobile device receives, from the second mobile device, a first certification request that includes a request for a digital certificate for the second mobile device and first biometric data associated with a user of the first mobile device. The first mobile device obtains second biometric data associated with a user of the second mobile device and conveys a second certification request to the infrastructure that includes the request for the digital certificate for the second mobile device and the first and second biometric data. The first mobile device then receives, from the infrastructure, the digital certificate for the second mobile device and forwards, to the second mobile device, the digital certificate.
