Publication number: 20140359278Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for performing secure remote subscription management. Secure remote subscription management may include providing the Wireless Transmit/Receive Unit (WTRU) with a connectivity identifier, such as a Provisional Connectivity Identifier (PCID), which may be used to establish an initial network connection to an Initial Connectivity Operator (ICO) for initial secure remote registration, provisioning, and activation. A connection to the ICO may be used to remotely provision the WTRU with credentials associated with the Selected Home Operator (SHO). A credential, such as a cryptographic keyset, which may be included in the Trusted Physical Unit (TPU), may be allocated to the SHO and may be activated. The WTRU may establish a network connection to the SHO and may receive services using the remotely managed credentials. Secure remote subscription management may be repeated to associate the WTRU with another SHO.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2014Publication date: December 4, 2014Inventors: Michael V.

Patent number: 8886948Abstract: A wireless device may perform a local authentication to reduce the traffic on a network. The local authentication may be performed using a local web server and/or a local OpenID provider (OP) associated with the wireless device. The local web server and/or local OP may be implemented on a security module, such as a smartcard or a trusted execution environment for example. The local OP and/or local web server may be used to implement a provisioning phase to derive a session key, associated with a service provider, from an authentication between the wireless device and the network. The session key may be reusable for subsequent local authentications to locally authenticate a user of the wireless device to the service provider.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: Andreas U.

Publication number: 20140201809Abstract: Authentication of a user or a wireless transmit/receive unit may be based on an obtained measure of authentication strength, which may referred to as an assurance level. For example, a user, via a WTRU, may request access to a service controlled by an access control entity (ACE). The user may be authenticated with a user authenticator and assertion function (UAAF), producing a result. A user assertion may be provided that includes the user authentication result, a user assurance level, and/or a user freshness level. The WTRU may be authenticated with a device authenticator and assertion function (DAAF), producing an associated result. A device assertion may be provided that may include the device authentication result, a device assurance level, and/or a device freshness level. The assertions may be bound together to receive access to a service or resource.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2013Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: InterDigital Patent Holdings, Inc.Inventors: VINOD KUMAR CHOYI, YOGENDRA C.

Publication number: 20140179271Abstract: Methods and instrumentalities are disclosed that enable one or more domains on one or more devices to be owned or controlled by one or more different local or remote owners, while providing a level of system-wide management of those domains. Each domain may have a different owner, and each owner may specify policies for operation of its domain and for operation of its domain in relation to the platform on which the domain resides, and other domains. A system-wide domain manager may be resident on one of the domains. The system-wide domain manager may enforce the policies of the domain on which it is resident, and it may coordinate the enforcement of the other domains by their respective policies in relation to the domain in which the system-wide domain manager resides. Additionally, the system-wide domain manager may coordinate interaction among the other domains in accordance with their respective policies. A domain application may be resident on one of the domains.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2011Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Louis J.

Publication number: 20100062808Abstract: Universal integrated circuit card (UICC) having a virtual subscriber identity module functionality is disclosed. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprises a mobile equipment (ME) configured to perform wireless communication and a UICC. The UICC is configured to perform security functionalities. The UICC supports multiple isolated domains including UICC issuer's domain. Each domain is owned by a separate owner so that each owner stores and executes an application on the UICC under a control of an UICC issuer and the UICC issuer's domain controls creation and deletion of other domains and defines and enforces security rules for authorizing third parties to have an access to the domains. The UICC is configured to verify integrity of operating system functions and applications stored on the UICC. The UICC is configured to control an access to information regarding applications according to security policies stored within the UICC.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2009Publication date: March 11, 2010Applicant: INTERDIGITAL PATENT HOLDINGS, INC.Inventors: Inhyok Cha, Andreas U.

Patent number: 4371757Abstract: An enclosure for outdoor cross-connection in telecommunications systems has a rectangular housing on a base. One or more columns are mounted in the housing, each column having a channel shaped back portion and a mounting member hinged at one side to one side of the back portion. Connectors are attached to the mounting member, conveniently by retainers fitting in slots in side walls of the mounting member, latch members holding the retainers in position. Connectors clip into the retainers and can be sealed by sealing compound in the retainers. Cable conductors pass up through the channel shaped back portion, conductors passing through into the mounting members and connected to the rear sides of connectors. Cross-connections are made to the front sides of the connectors.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 1981Date of Patent: February 1, 1983Assignee: Northern Telecom LimitedInventors: George Debortoli, Michael V.
