Patent number: 10069822Abstract: A mobile device sends a network attach request to a network node, and receives an authentication challenge from the network node, where the authentication challenge includes an authentication token, a random number, and a time variable associated with a current time at the network node. A microprocessor smart card of the mobile device retrieves the time variable from the authentication challenge, and starts a clock counter based on the retrieved time variable. The microprocessor smart card uses a current time represented by the clock counter to perform time expiration validation tests on certificates during Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication or on authentication tokens during token-based authentication.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Manuel Enrique Caceres, Warren Hojilla Uy, Praveen Venkataramu, Ruben Cuadrat

Patent number: 9832025Abstract: A policy server that is associated with a secure element owner receives a request, from a service provider, to provision access, by an application, to the secure element. The policy server creates, in response to the request, a policy ticket, for the service provider, that defines privileges for the service provider to create a security domain or a new profile within the secure element. The policy server provides, to a service provider trusted service manager (TSM), the policy ticket and a signed certificate, the signed certificate corresponding to a root certificate that is inserted into a Controlling Authority Security Domain (CASD) portion of the secure element prior to receiving the request. When the CASD receives the policy ticket and signed certificate from the service provider TSM, the CASD validates based on the root certificate and provisions access to the secure element based on information in the policy ticket.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Manuel Enrique Caceres, Warren Hojilla Uy, Ruben Cuadrat, Taussif Khan

Patent number: 9826403Abstract: A device receives a request from a user to manage a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) profile stored in a smart card within the device, wherein the MNO profile includes one or more network access credentials for accessing a wireless network. The device performs a Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA), wherein the CAPTCHA includes receiving input from the user, and authenticates the user as a human, and not a bot or other automated activity, based on the CAPTCHA and the input from the user. The device receives, from a network node external to the device responsive to the authenticating, a MNO profile management code, and manages the MNO profile based on the received MNO profile management code.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2016Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Manuel Enrique Caceres, Warren Hojilla Uy, Nanjun Qian, Axel Hallo De Wolf, Ruben Cuadrat, John Markey, Taussif Khan
