  • Patent number: 11848926
    Abstract: A method for determining an access right of a user terminal to a first network, wherein the user terminal (110) includes a subscription of a second network (150). The method includes: receiving (310) an access request message (240) including a data record for a user name and a data record for a password; determining (320) that the records are in a pre-determined format and that at least one of them includes data from which a subscriber identity for the second network is derivable; generating (330) an authentication request message from the access server (140) to a server (160) configured to perform authentication related tasks in the second network; receiving (340) information on the outcome of the authentication of the subscriber in the second network, generating (350) an acknowledgement to the user terminal (110) indicating right to access to the first network.

  • Patent number: 11048686
    Abstract: The embodiments herein relate to a network node and a method performed in the network node of an operator, for storage of data in a blockchain database in a network that is based on a Service Function Chaining (SFC) architecture, the method comprising: receiving data packets from an IoT device; performing, by a service function in the network node, at least deep packet inspection, DPI, on the received data packets for identifying sensor data of the received data packets; retrieving, from the operator's system, network data associated with the sensor data; retrieving, from a third party system, external data associated with the sensor data; combining the identified sensor data, the network data and the external data to form a combined data; and storing the combined data in the blockchain database.

  • Patent number: 10318951
    Abstract: A method for performing a transaction initiated with near field communication, NFC, interaction between a user terminal including a subscriber identity module residing in the user terminal and a NFC reader. In the method a request including an amount of the transaction and an identifier obtained from a secure element of the subscriber identity module residing in the user terminal is delivered and a payment card number corresponding to the identifier is obtained. Finally, a transaction request is initiated towards a transaction management system and in response to a successful acknowledgment from the transaction management system an acknowledgement on successful transaction is delivered, and in response to an unsuccessful acknowledgement from the transaction management system the transaction request, canceling the transaction.

  • Patent number: 9730061
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining identification information on a user of a user terminal including a subscription of a second network, wherein the user terminal is requesting access to a first network. In the method an access request message is received from an entity controlling at least pertly the access to the first network and an identification request message is delivered to the user terminal. The user terminal is configured to return an indication of identification and if the indication is positive, pre-agreed piece of information is retrieved from a location accessible to the server. The pre-agreed piece of information is delivered to the entity controlling the access to the first network in order to provide an access to the first network. Also disclosed is a server, a user terminal and a computer program product.
