Methods and systems for authenticating a device with multiple network access identifiers
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are presented that allow a wireless communication device (WCD) to use multiple access identifiers (NAIs) in conjunction with a communication session between the WCD and a home agent. The home agent may maintain a binding that reflects the state of the session. Accordingly, the binding may contain a home IP address (HOA) as well as a first NAI. The home agent may then receive a registration request message containing the HOA and a second NAI. In order to avoid potential hijacking attacks from entities other than the WCD, the home agent may, in conjunction with an authentication server, attempt to validate that that first NAI and second NAI are both associated with the WCD. If this is the case, the home agent may update the binding to reflect that the second NAI is associated with the session, and the home agent may maintain the session so that the WCD does not suffer an appreciable interruption in service.
