Systems, methods, media, and means for user level authentication

摘要

In some embodiments, a gateway in a communications network is provided including a subscriber interface and a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registrar; wherein the SIP registrar: receives a first register message as a result of a request associated with a user and a mobile device seeking network authentication; and sends a request for subscriber information to the subscriber interface; the subscriber interface: retrieves the subscriber information from the subscriber database; and sends the subscriber information to the SIP registrar; the SIP registrar further: sends challenge information including a password request and a request for predetermined response information previously selected by the user to the mobile device; receives a second register message including user response information in response to the challenge information; and authenticates the mobile device and the user based at least in part on whether the user response information matches the predetermined response information.
