DYNAMIC CRYPTOGRAPHIC SUBSCRIBER-DEVICE IDENTITY BINDING FOR SUBSCRIBER MOBILITY

摘要

A method of authentication and authorization over a communication system is provided. The method performs a first authentication of a device based on a set of device identity and credentials. The first authentication includes creation of a first set of keying material. The method also includes performing a second authentication of a subscriber based on a set of subscriber identity and credentials. The second authentication includes creation of a second set of keying material. A set of compound key material is created with a key derivation mechanism that uses the first set of keying material and the second set of keying material. A binding token is created by cryptographically signing at least the device identity authenticated in the first authentication and the subscriber identity authenticated in the second authentication using the set of compound keying material. The signed binding token is exchanged for verification with an authenticating and authorizing party.
