<p>A system and method for authenticating a subscriber to an application provider using the authentication services of the wireless network over which the connection is made is disclosed herein. A unique client id is provided, over a public network, by an application provider to an authenticator. The authenticator requests the digital wireless device corresponding to the unique client id be redirected to connect to a secure port of the authenticator. The secure port of the authenticator is connected to a data gateway that does not permit public access, and only permits connections from addresses originating within the wireless network to which the digital wireless device is connected. Upon receiving a connection on the secure port from the digital wireless device, the authenticator provides authentication of the digital wireless device to the application provider. A method and system for obtaining non-repudiable authorization for a billing transaction, so that charges can be placed on a network access billing system by an outside service provider, is also disclosed.</p> |
