Abstract

See full text

A communication network provides access to a network service by providing an additional level of authentication beyond device level authentication. Operations include receiving a message at a Bootstrapping Server Function (BSF) from User Equipment (UE) that additional authentication beyond UE authentication is required for UE access to a network service, and performing an authentication protocol between the BSF and a Home Subscriber System (HSS) to authenticate an identity associated with the UE responsive to receiving the message.
