Abstract
In one embodiment, a network interface is operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network. A processor communicatively coupled to the network interface receives the communication request from a first networked device over a communication link of a radio access network via a first communication protocol. The communication request comprises caller information. The processor then verifies caller information and obtains an authenticator, associated with the caller information, that indicates the communication request is authorized to be routed to a second networked device. The second networked device is configured to receive communications via a second communication protocol.
Claims17
An apparatus, comprising:
- a network interface operable to receive a communication request over a communication link of a radio access network via a first communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol is one of a legacy signaling protocol, an SIP protocol, or a VOIP protocol;
- and
- a processor communicatively coupled to the network interface and operable to:
- authenticate caller information associated with the communication request by performing a validation procedure implementing signature-based handling of the caller information using tokens;
- obtain an authenticator after authenticating the caller information;
- store the authenticator;
- receive a verification request from a destination network;
- and
- transmit the authenticator to the destination network in response to the verification request.
Non-transitory computer readable medium comprising logic, the logic, when executed by a processor, operable to:
- authenticate caller information associated with the communication request by performing a validation procedure implementing signature-based handling of the caller information using tokens;
- obtain an authenticator after authenticating the caller information;
- store the authenticator;
- receive a verification request from a destination network via a first communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol is one of a legacy signaling protocol, an SIP protocol, or a VOIP protocol;
- and
- transmit the authenticator to the destination network in response to the verification request.
A method, comprising:
- authenticating caller information associated with the communication request by performing a validation procedure implementing signature-based handling of the caller information using tokens;
- obtaining an authenticator after authenticating the caller information;
- storing the authenticator;
- receiving a verification request from a destination network via a first communication protocol, wherein the first communication protocol is one of a legacy signaling protocol, an SIP protocol, or a VOIP protocol;
- and
- transmitting the authenticator to the destination network in response to the verification request.
