Abstract
Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for re-authentication key generation. One method (1100) includes transmitting (1102) a re-authentication key with a key set identifier in an extensible authentication protocol message. The re-authentication key is generated using: a public land mobile network identifier; a serving network name identifier; a trusted network domain name identifier; a trusted gateway function identifier; a subscription permanent identifier; a network access identifier; a user equipment identifier; a reauthentication code; a separator; a length of a parameter; or some combination thereof.
Claims20
A method performed by a network entity in a cellular network, the method comprising:
- generating a re-authentication key;
- and
- transmitting the re-authentication key with a key set identifier (ID) in an extensible authentication protocol message, wherein the re-authentication key is generated using three or more of:
- a public land mobile network (PLMN) ID;
- a trusted gateway function ID;
- a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI);
- or
- a user equipment (UE) ID.
A network entity in a cellular network, the network entity comprising:
- at least one memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the network entity to:
- generate a re-authentication key;
- and
- transmit the re-authentication key with a key set identifier (ID) in an extensible authentication protocol message, wherein the re-authentication key is generated using three or more of:
- a public land mobile network (PLMN) ID;
- a trusted gateway function ID;
- a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI);
- or
- a user equipment (UE) ID.
A processor for cellular network communication, the processor comprising:
- at least one controller coupled with at least one memory and configured to cause the processor to:
- generate one or more of a re-authentication root key, a serving network re-authentication key, a re-authentication integrity key, an access point key, and a re-authentication master session key using three or more of:
- a public land mobile network (PLMN) identifier (ID);
- a trusted gateway function ID;
- a subscription permanent identifier (SUPI);
- a user equipment (UE) ID;
- a re-authentication integrity key label;
- an anti-bidding down between architecture parameter;
- a trusted access point ID;
- trusted access point information;
- or
- a trusted access point mobility counter;
- and
- transmit one or more of the re-authentication root key, the serving network re-authentication key, the re-authentication integrity key, the access point key, or the re-authentication master session key to the UE.
