Abstract

A method and system for authenticating a communication device with an application server. The application server includes a gateway registration port, a gateway server port, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, via the gateway registration port, a registration request, including a unique identifier, from a first device over a first communications network that operates in accordance with a first modality and receive, at the gateway server port, an access request including an identifier from an unknown device over a second communications network that operates in accordance with a second modality. The electronic processor is configured to compare the second identifier with the first identifier to determine if the identifiers match, grant the unknown device access when the identifiers match, and deny the unknown device access when the identifiers do not match.

Claims14

Dependent claims

An application server for authenticating a communication device with a communication system and providing an application, the application server comprising:

a gateway registration port;
a gateway server port;
and
an electronic processor configured to:
receive, via the gateway registration port of the application server, a registration request from a first communication device over a first communications network that operates in accordance with a land mobile radio modality, the registration request including an identifier of the first communication device,
receive, via the gateway server port of the application server, an access request from an unknown communication device over a second communications network that operates in accordance with a non-land mobile radio modality, the access request including an identifier of the unknown communication device,
compare the identifier of the unknown communication device with the identifier of the first communication device stored at the application server to determine if the unknown communication device is the first communication device and is authorized to access the application provided by the application server,
grant the unknown communication device access to the application provided by the application server through the gateway server port over the non-land mobile radio modality in response to determining that the unknown communication device is the first communication device, and
deny the unknown communication device access to the application server through the gateway server port over the non-land mobile radio modality in response to determining that the unknown communication device, based on the comparison, is not the first communication device.

A method for authenticating a communication device with an application server providing an application, the method comprising

receiving, at a gateway registration port of the application server, a registration request from a first communication device over a first communications network that operates in accordance with a land mobile radio modality, the registration request including a unique identifier of the first communication device;
receiving, at a gateway server port of the application server, an access request from an unknown communication device over a second communications network that operates in accordance with a non-land mobile radio modality, the access request including an identifier of the unknown communication device;
comparing the identifier of the unknown communication device with the identifier of the first communication device stored at the application server to determine if the unknown communication device is the first communication device and is authorized to access the application provided by the application server;
granting is the first communication device, the unknown communication device access to the application provided by the application server through the gateway server port over the non-land mobile radio modality in response to determining that the unknown communication device is the first communication device based on the comparison;
and
denying the unknown communication device access to the application server through the gateway server port over the non-land mobile radio modality in response to determining that the unknown communication device, based on the comparison, is not the first communication device.
