Номер: US20120042382A1
Автор: Kevin Mahaffey
Принадлежит: LookOut Inc

The present invention is a system and method for providing security for a mobile device by analyzing data being transmitted or received by multiple types of networks. The invention can provide security for many types of network interfaces on a mobile device, including: Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular networks, USB, SMS, infrared, and near-field communication. Data is gathered at multiple points in a given processing pathway and linked by a protocol tracking component in order to analyze each protocol present in the data after an appropriate amount of processing by the mobile device. Protocol analysis components are utilized dynamically to analyze data and are re-used between multiple data pathways so as to be able to support an arbitrary number of network data pathways on a mobile device without requiring substantial overhead.

Characteristics about one or more wireless access devices in a wireless network, whether known or unknown entities, can be determined using a system and method according to the present invention. An observation is made of the activity over a Wireless Area Network (WLAN). Based on this activity, changes in state of wireless access devices within the WLAN can be observed and monitored. These changes in state could be indicative of normal operation of the WLAN, or they may indicate the presence of an unauthorized user. In the latter case, an alert can be sent so that appropriate action may be taken. Additionally, ad hoc networks can be detected that may be connected to a wireless access point.

A system that prevents unauthorized establishment of wireless bidirectional communication between a communication master and a communication terminal. The system includes a strength measurement signal transmission circuit that transmits a received signal strength measurement signal, which is used to measure received signal strength at the communication terminal, a number of times with different transmission strengths during a single wireless bidirectional communication session. A received signal strength measurement circuit measures the received signal strength of the received signal strength measurement signal whenever the received signal strength measurement signal is received by the communication terminal. A measurement result transmission circuit transmits received signal strength measurement results as a single response signal to the communication master from the communication terminal during the single communication session. A check circuit checks whether the current bidirectional communication is authorized based on the received signal strength measurement results from the communication terminal.

Cross-component message encryption

Номер: US20120140927A1
Автор: Alexander Sherkin, Christopher Lyle Bender, Neil Patrick Adams, Nikhil Vats, Ravi Singh
Принадлежит: Research in Motion Ltd

Often, for reasons of wireless bandwidth conservation, incomplete messages are provided to wireless messaging devices. Employing cryptography, for secrecy or authentication purposes, when including a received message that has been incompletely received can lead to lack of context on the receiver's end. By automatically obtaining the entirety of the message to be included, an outgoing message that includes the received message can be processed in a manner that securely and accurately represents the intended outgoing message. Alternatively, a server can assemble a composite message from a new message and an original message and, in cooperation with a wireless messaging device, encrypt and sign the composite message. Conveniently, security considerations are maintained even in view of bandwidth optimization measures.

A method for connecting a terminal to a telecommunication network via an access point. After a request to connect a terminal to a first access point, the first access point determines if it has access to a resource for serving the terminal and, if possible, serves the terminal. If not, the first access point requests, from at least one second access point to which is it connected, a resource for serving the terminal; and in the event that the resource is available to the second access point, the first access point transfers, to the terminal, data for enabling the terminal to connect to the second access point.

A gateway apparatus () for a user equipment () which is connected to a radio-access network via a relay node () determines that a dedicated bearer is to be created for a specific type of traffic which is to be transmitted on a data radio bearer to be created between the relay node () and a donor node () of the radio access network, and includes a parameter into a message requesting creation of the dedicated bearer, which indicates that the dedicated bearer is required for integrity protection or used to carry the specific type of traffic. The message is sent from the gateway apparatus () to a mobility management apparatus () which includes a second parameter in a message requesting setup of a radio access bearer for the type of traffic based on the parameter. The donor node () receives this message, recognizes from the second parameter that integrity protection is required for the data radio bearer, initiates a process to create the data radio bearer for the type of traffic requiring integrity protection, and initiates the integrity protection for the data radio bearer by including an indication that integrity protection is required for the data radio bearer in a connection reconfiguration message for initiating creation of the data radio bearer. 1.

According to the invention, the method consists in: establishing, at the level of the administrative platform a secure channel between the equipment and the administrative platform, thanks to session keys generated by the secure element and transmitted to the equipment; transmitting to the administrative platform a request to manage content of the secure element; and verifying at the level of the administrative platform that this request originates from the same secure element that has generated the session keys and, if positive, authorizing the management and, if negative, forbid this management.

A detection-based defense to a wireless network. Elements of the infrastructure, e.g., access points or scanning-only access points, detect intruders by detecting spoofed frames, such as from rogue access points. Access points include a signature, such as a message integrity check, with their management frames in a manner that enables neighboring access points to be able to validate the management frames, and to detect spoofed frames. When a neighboring access point receives a management frame, obtains a key for the access point sending the frame, and validates the management frame using the key.

Techniques for protecting information elements transmitted to mobile stations from intruders. The technique can involve applying a randomized mask over an information element and then providing a scrambled cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value. A seed for the randomized mask can be different from a seed for the scrambled CRC value. 1. An enhanced Node B , comprising:a processor and a transceiver coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:transmit a seed value to a user equipment having a user identifier, wherein the seed value is different than the user identifier;randomize a control channel information element using the seed value;mask a checksum added to the randomized control channel information element using the user identifier; andtransmit the control channel information element to the user equipment.2. An enhanced Node B as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seed value is transmitted to the user equipment in a unicast media access control (MAC) management message.3. An enhanced Node B as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seed value is transmitted to the user equipment in a MobilityControllnfo message.4. An enhanced Node B as claimed in claim 1 , wherein masked checksum is a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) checksum.5. An enhanced Node B as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:transmit the user identifier to the user equipment using an Advanced Air Interface Registration Response (AAI-REG-RSP) message or an Advanced Air Interface Range Response (AAI-RNG-RSP) message.6. A user equipment claim 1 , comprising:a processor and a transceiver coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to:receive a seed value from an enhanced Node B, wherein the seed value is different than a user identifier of the user equipment;receive a control channel information element from the enhanced Node B;unmask a checksum added to the randomized control channel information element using the user identifier; andde-randomize a ...
