A system and method for user certificate initiation, distribution, and provisioning in converged WLAN-WWAN interworking networks. A computing device operable in a wireless local area network sends a public key to a mobile device operable in a wireless cellular wide area network. The mobile device performs a bootstrapping procedure with a cellular operator in the wireless cellular wide area network to obtain a user certificate based on the public key. The mobile device sends the user certificate to the computing device for installation on the computing device. The user certificate may be used for digital signature, verification, and encryption purposes. The user certificate is also used in both the wireless local area network and the wireless wide area network for authenticating a subscriber when accessing services from both networks.

A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device includes generating a secret on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a subscriber identity module (SIM)/Smartcard on the mobile computing device. A secure local communication channel is established between the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard using the secret.

Using a trusted-platform-based shared-secret derivation and WWAN infrastructure-based enrollment to establish a secure local channel

A system and method for establishing a connection on a mobile computing device. A secret is generated on a trusted platform of the mobile computing device. The secret is transported to a secure channel application. The secure channel application establishes a trusted local communication channel between the trusted platform and a SIM (subscriber identity module)/Smartcard. The secret is received by the SIM/Smartcard. The secret, after being received by the SIM/Smartcard, is provided to a secure channel applet on the SIM/Smartcard. The secure channel applet establishes the trusted local communication channel between the SIM/Smartcard and the trusted platform, wherein the secret is shared by the trusted platform and the SIM/Smartcard.

An apparatus and method for platform and device independent identity manageability. In one embodiment, the method includes validation of a manageable identity (MID) held within trusted storage of a user platform according to a user request to move the MID to a target platform. Once the MID is validated, available resources of the target platform are verified according to resource requirements of the MID. Once verified, the MID may be moved from the user platform to trusted storage provided by the target platform. In one embodiment, a platform-independent MID may be established that may be moved from a user platform to a non-compatible target platform, such that the platform-independent MID is not constrained to just one single platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
