Estimating the term…
A trusted computing environment, such as a smartcard, UICC, Java card, global platform, or the like may be used as a local host trust center and a proxy for a single-sign on (SSO) provider. This may be referred to as a local SSO provider (OP). This may be done, for example, to keep authentication traffic local and to prevent over the air communications, which may burden an operator network. To establish the OP proxy in the trusted environment, the trusted environment may bind to the SSO provider in a number of ways. For example, the SSO provider may interoperate with UICC-based UE authentication or GBA. In this way, user equipment may leverage the trusted environment in order to provide increased security and reduce over the air communications and authentication burden on the OP or operator network.
A user environment for enabling an open management security protocol to enable a relying party (RP) to authenticate a user, the user environment comprising:
The method of claim 29, wherein the trusted computing environment is one of a universal integrated circuit card (UICC), a subscriber identity module (SIM), a machine to machine (M2M) device, a smart card, or a java card, a global platform smartcard, or secure integrated chip card (ICC).
A method for protecting a user environment and/or the local assertion entity (LAE) to authenticate a user for a relying party (RP) in an open management security protocol, the method comprising:
