Authentication device selection to facilitate authentication via an updateable subscriber identifier
Patent number: 10136318Abstract: Steering an authentication request to a determined authentication device based on a correlation between a user equipment (UE) identity and an authentication device is disclosed. The authentication request comprises an updateable subscriber identity. The authentication request can be associated with the UE identity, which can be correlated to an authentication device as a result of a prior authentication event. The updateable subscriber identity can have been updated during the prior authentication event, such that the authentication device has record of the updated subscriber identity. Therefore, the authentication device can to perform an authentication based on the updated subscriber identity while other authentication devices lacking record of the updated subscriber identity would be unable to perform the authentication. The disclosed subject matter can be operable with existing deployed authentication systems with little to no modification of those systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Paul R.

Patent number: 10129235Abstract: A method is provided for facilitating service-specific security while avoiding a full authentication and key agreement exchange each time a service is activated on a device. Multiple services on a single device and sharing the same session link (e.g., radio link or radio bearer) and the same physical network may nonetheless obtain distinct service-specific network connectivity root keys from which service-specific security/session keys may be derived. In such case, instead of performing a full authentication and key agreement exchange with an operator or provider (e.g., home subscription server or HSS), the device may authenticate a network slice using a security credential established during a prior authentication with another network slice.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Soo Bum Lee, Anand Palanigounder

Patent number: 10122732Abstract: An identity management system incorporates privacy management processes that enable the user to exercise privacy controls over the disclosure of user identity information within the context of an authentication process. A combination includes an identity selector, a privacy engine, and a ruleset. The identity selector directs the release of a user identity in the form of a security token to satisfy the requirements dictated by a security policy. Prior to release of the user identity, the engine conducts a privacy enforcement process that examines the privacy policy of the service provider and determines if it is acceptable. The engine evaluates a ruleset against the privacy policy. A preference editor enables the user to construct, in advance, the ruleset, which embodies the user's privacy preferences regarding the disclosure of identity information.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: OPEN INVENTION NETWORK LLCInventor: Gail-Joon Ahn
