Estimating the term…
A network (20) comprises an authenticator node (22) and a server (24) such as an authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) server. A method comprises a terminal (30) sending authentication capabilities information (AC) across a network access interface (32) to the network (the authentication capabilities information provides an indication of authentication capabilities of the terminal). The network (20) then uses the authentication capabilities information to determine a first cryptographic value. The terminal (30) then uses the authentication capabilities information to determine a second cryptographic value. The network (20) compares the first cryptographic value and the second cryptographic value to authenticate the terminal.
A communications network comprising:
A server of a home public land mobile network (HPLMN) configured to use authentication capabilities information of a terminal to determine a first cryptographic value, the first cryptographic value being used to obtain verification of an authentication procedure for the terminal, the authentication capabilities information providing an indication of authentication capabilities of the terminal.
A node of a communications network which is configured to use authentication capabilities information of a terminal to determine a first cryptographic value, the authentication capabilities information providing an indication of authentication capabilities of the terminal, and which is further configured to make a verification of an authentication procedure for the terminal.
A communications network comprising:
A method of operating a communications network comprising:
