Embodiment Construction

[0042] Figure 1 shows an overview of signaling according to the Free ID-FF framework. At 110, the user entity 101UE makes a request for a service at the service provider 102SP, which request goes through a free enabling proxy 104LEP. At 120, the SP requests authentication. At 130, an authentication request-response communication is shown with the identity provider 103IdP, which at 131 processes the authentication request. The Authentication Response includes an assertion that the UE is authenticated. At 140, the assertion is communicated with the service provider SP, which at 141 processes the assertion. At 150, the proxy LEP responds to the request 110 that the UE is authenticated to access services at the SP.

[0043] Figure 2 illustrates a prior art deployment of GBA / GAA with an Authentication Proxy 260 acting as a Network Application Function NAF with respect to the GBA / GAA infrastructure. The Generic Bootstrap Server Function 210BSF and the User Entity 101UE authentic...

Abstract

A method is disclosed that provides efficient integration of infrastructure for federated single sign on, e.g. Liberty ID-FF framework, and generic bootstrapping architecture, e.g. 3GPP GAA / GBA architecture. An integrated proxy server (IAP) is inserted in the path between a user and a service provider (SP). The proxy server differentiates type of access and determines corresponding operative state to act as a liberty enabled server or as a GAA / GBA network application function. A Bootstrapping, Identity, Authentication and Session Management arrangement (BIAS) leverages on 3GPP GAA / GBA infrastructure to provide an integrated system for handling Liberty Federated SSO and 3GPP GAA / GBA bootstrapping procedures at the same time. The method and arrangement provides improved use of infrastructure elements and performance for authenticated service access.

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present invention relates to the authentication of users attempting to access services provided in a communication network. In particular, the invention relates to authentication in networks of different infrastructures for integrated service access. Background technique [0002] In telecommunications systems, users must authenticate using some method of network authentication in order to access the telecommunications network. 3GPP has standardized Authentication and Key Agreement Architecture (AKA), where user equipment (UE) and network functionality share a common key as the basis for authentication. Keys are managed when subscribing to network services and are preferably stored on a secure card (eg SIM card). [0003] Furthermore, a user requesting access to a web service must re-authenticate to the service, for example in order to establish the basis for billing. It is common in the art to base the trust between the service provi...
