UTILIZING GENERIC AUTHENTICATION ARCHITECTURE FOR MOBILE INTERNET PROTOCOL KEY DISTRIBUTION

摘要

The invention allows utilizing Generic Authentication Architecture for Mobile Internet Protocol key distribution. A Generic Authentication Architecture bootstrapping is performed between a mobile terminal device and a Bootstrapping Server Function. In an embodiment a resulting Bootstrapping Transaction Identifier is sent to a Home Agent which uses it to obtain a Home Agent specific key to be used in authenticating a Mobile Internet Protocol Registration Request.
