Abstract
Embodiments of a device and method are disclosed. In an embodiment, a method of communications involves at a network device, receiving an authentication message from a client, at the network device, extracting a payload from the authentication message, and sending a copy of the payload to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) microserver of the network device for client certificate extraction, where the TLS microserver is implemented in a side signal channel.
Claims20
A method of communications, the method comprising:
- at a network device, receiving an authentication message from a client;
- at the network device, extracting a payload from the authentication message;
- and
- sending a copy of the payload to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) microserver of the network device for client certificate extraction, wherein the TLS microserver is implemented in a side signal channel.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive an authentication message from a client;
- and
- one or more processors configured to:
- extract a payload from the authentication message;
- and
- send a copy of the payload to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) microserver of the device for client certificate extraction, wherein the TLS microserver is implemented in a side signal channel.
3 more elements
A method of communications, the method comprising:
- at a head end (HE) deployed at a customer site, receiving an authentication message from a wireless access point (AP) deployed at the customer site;
- at the HE, extracting a payload from the authentication message;
- sending a copy of the payload to a Transport Layer Security (TLS) microserver of the HE for client certificate extraction, wherein the TLS microserver is implemented in a side signal channel;
- storing extracted client certificate data and associated metadata in a file;
- at the HE, encapsulating the payload into an authentication request;
- and
- from the HE, transmitting the authentication request to an authentication server deployed remotely to the customer site.
