Abstract
A communications system is disclosed. The communications system includes a plurality of access networks, at least one user equipment arranged for use in at least one of the access networks, and a user identification module for use in the user equipment. The module is arranged to enable a plurality of access network applications to run.
Claims16
An apparatus comprising:
- a user identification module for user equipment for use in an access network,
- wherein said module is configured to enable a plurality of access network applications to run, wherein the module is configured to enable a core network application to run, and wherein the module is configured to enable said core network application to run in parallel with at least one of the plurality of access network applications;
- and
- wherein the user identification module is configured to generate authentication data for a core network and the access network, wherein the authentication data for said core network and the access network is dependent on a common data set, wherein the common data set comprises at least one shared key between the access network and the access network application or the core network application, and wherein the shared key is configured to generate one or more required keys.
1 more element
A system comprising
- a plurality of access networks;
- at least one user equipment configured to be used in at least one of said access networks;
- and
- a user identification module configured to be used in the at least one user equipment,
- wherein said module is configured to enable a plurality of access network applications and at least one core network application to run, wherein said core network application runs in parallel with at least one of the plurality of access network applications, and
- wherein the user identification module is further configured to generate authentication data for the core network and the access network, wherein the authentication data for said core network and the access network is dependent on a common data set that comprises at least one shared key between the access network and the access network application or the core network application, and wherein the shared key is configured to generate at least one required session key.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
- enabling a plurality of access network applications to run;
- enabling at least one core network application to run, wherein said core network application runs in parallel with at least one of the plurality of access network applications;
- and
- generating authentication data for a core network and an access network, the authentication data for said core network,
- wherein the authentication data for said core network and the access network is configured to be dependent on a common data set, the common data set is configured to comprise at least one shared key between the access network and the access network application or the core network application, and the shared key is configured to generate a required session key or keys.
2 more elements
A computer readable medium having computer-executable components for implementing a method, the method comprising:
- enabling a plurality of access network applications to run;
- enabling at least one core network application to run, wherein said core network application runs in parallel with at least one of the plurality of access network applications;
- and
- generating authentication data for a core network and an access network, the authentication data for said core network,
- wherein the authentication data for said core network and the access network is configured to be dependent on a common data set, the common data set is configured to comprise at least one shared key between the access network and the access network application or the core network application, and the shared key is configured to generate a required session key or keys.
