Methods and systems for network authentication using a unique authentication identifier

A system comprising:

• a wireless communication device;
• and
• a core network comprising:
• at least one first processor;
• at least one first non-transitory memory;
• a data store configured to store a ledger comprising a plurality of records corresponding to different wireless communication devices registered with a carrier network in association with a subscriber, wherein the plurality of records comprise a record associated with the wireless communication device, wherein the record comprises a plurality of pre-provisioned security parameters related to the wireless communication device;
• and
• a core authentication application, stored in the at least one first non-transitory memory, which when executed by the at least one first processor, causes the at least one first processor to be configured to:
• receive, from the wireless communication device, an authentication request comprising at least one security parameter previously stored in a record at the data store;
• obtain a registration identifier in response to inputting the at least one security parameter received in the authentication request into a first security application;
• obtain a network-side authentication identifier in response to inputting the registration identifier into a second security application;
• transmit, to the wireless communication device, an authentication information message comprising the registration identifier;
• receive, from the wireless communication device, a device-side authentication identifier derived from the registration identifier according to a third security application;
• determine whether the device-side authentication identifier matches the network-side authentication identifier;
• authenticate and authorize the wireless communication device to access the carrier network when the device-side authentication identifier is determined to match the network-side authentication identifier;
• and
• enable the wireless communication device to access the carrier network in accordance with the authentication and authorization,
• wherein the wireless communication device comprises:
• at least one second processor;
• at least one second non-transitory memory;
• a database configured to maintain the plurality of pre-provisioned security parameters related to the wireless communication device;
• and
• the device authentication application, stored in the at least one second non-transitory memory, which, when executed by the at least one second processor, causes the at least one second processor to be configured to:
• transmit, by the wireless communication device to the core network, the authentication request for access, the authentication request comprising the at least one security parameter;
• receive, at the wireless communication device, the authentication information message;
• input, to the third security application in the wireless communication device, the registration identifier in the authentication information message received from the core authentication application;
• receive, from the third security application in response to the input of the registration identifier, the device-side authentication identifier;
• transmit, to the core network by the device authentication application, the device-side authentication identifier;
• and
• access, by the wireless communication device, the carrier network in accordance with the authentication and authorization.
