CELLULAR NETWORK AUTHENTICATION CONTROL

摘要

A cellular terminal detects any capability reporting trigger and responsively to such determination produces a cellular network authentication capabilities message indicative of cellular network authentication capabilities available for the terminal; and transmits the cellular network authentication capabilities message to the cellular network. The cellular network receives the network authentication capabilities message from a cellular terminal, selects a cellular authentication algorithm based on capabilities indicated by the network authentication capabilities message; and performs cellular authentication with the cellular terminal using the selected cellular authentication algorithm.
