Abstract
The service layer may leverage the access network infrastructure so that applications on a device may bootstrap with a machine-to-machine server without requiring provisioning beyond what is already required by the access network.
Claims20
A user equipment comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- providing a first Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) message to a network node, the first EAP message comprising a machine to machine service provider identifier;
- and
- receiving a second EAP message from the network node, the second EAP message comprising data that can be used by the user equipment to derive an encryption key to be used when the user equipment communicates with the machine-to-machine server service layer.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- providing a first Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) message to a network node, the first EAP message comprising a machine to machine service provider identifier;
- and
- receiving a second EAP message from the network node, the second EAP message comprising data that can be used by a device to derive an encryption key to be used when the device communicates with the machine-to-machine server service layer.
A computer readable storage medium comprising computer executable instructions that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to perform the instructions comprising:
- providing a first Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) message to a network node, the first EAP message comprising a machine to machine service provider identifier;
- and
- receiving a second EAP message from the network node, the second EAP message comprising data that can be used by the computing device to derive an encryption key to be used when the computing device communicates with the machine to machine server service layer.
