APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OVER-THE-AIR PROVISIONING OF SECURITY CREDENTIALS BETWEEN TWO ACCESS SYSTEMS

摘要

A method and apparatus for over-the-air provisioning of authentication credentials at an access device via a first access system, wherein the authentication credentials are for a second access system lacking an over-the-air provisioning procedure. For example, the second access system may be a 3GPP system using AKA authentication methods. The first access system may be CDMA, using an OTASP or IOTA procedure. Provisioning the authentication credentials may include provisioning any of a 3GPP AKA authentication root key (K), AKA authentication related parameters, an AKA authentication algorithm to be used in the 3GPP authentication, or authentication algorithm customization parameters.
