Abstract:
Carrier-side security services for fielded devices is disclosed. In contrast to conventional authentication systems for fielded devices, wherein an end-to-end communications pathway is typically established for authentication of a fielded device by a back-end service provider, authentication and security services can be moved into devices associated with a carrier network. A device associated with the carrier network can authenticate field components to service components without first establishing a communications pathway to a back-end service provider. Further, the device can provide for secured communications with an authenticated field component and are not readable by carrier devices. In an aspect, this can allow for centralization of security elements from the periphery of back-end service providers into a device associated with the carrier network. In a further aspect, the device can host a security services platform for back-end service providers.
