  • Patent number: 11659359
    Abstract: A network node (21), which is placed within a core network, receives a message from a transmission source (30) placed outside the core network. The message includes an indicator indicating whether or not the message is addressed to a group of one or more MTC devices attached to the core network. The network node (21) determines to authorize the transmission source (30), when the indicator indicates that the message is addressed to the group. Further, the message includes an ID for identifying whether or not the message is addressed to the group. The MTC device determines to discard the message, when the ID does not coincide with an ID allocated for the MTC device itself. Furthermore, the MTC device communicates with the transmission source (30) by use of a pair of group keys shared therewith.

  • Patent number: 11601790
    Abstract: In order for making MTC more efficient and/or secure, a base station forming a communication system connects a UE to a core network. A node serves as an entering point to the core network for a service provider, and transmits traffic between the service provider and the UE. The node establishes, as a connection to the base station, a first connection for directly transceiving messages between the node and the base station. Alternatively, the node establishes a second connection for transparently transceiving the messages through a different node that is placed within the core network and has established a different secure connection to the base station.

    Abstract: In order to improve security upon distributing a group key, there is provided a gateway (20) to a core network for a group of MTC devices (10_1-10_n) communicating with the core network. The gateway (20) protects confidentiality and integrity of a group key, and distributes the protected group key to each of the MTC devices (10_1-10_n). The protection is performed by using: a key (Kgr) that is preliminarily shared between the gateway (20) and each of the MTC devices (10_1-10_n), and that is used for the gateway (20) to authenticate each of the MTC devices (10_1-10_n) as a member of the group; or a key (K_iwf) that is shared between an MTC-IWF (50) and each of the MTC devices (10_1-10_n), and that is used to derive temporary keys for securely conducting individual communication between the MTC-IWF (50) and each of the MTC devices (10_1-10_n).
