The present disclosure provides an access node for transferring and/or assigning network passwords. The access node includes a first interface for sending and receiving communication of a first type to and from a first node operating in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The access node also includes a second interface for sending and receiving communication of a second type to and from a second node in a mobile network, such as a GSM/GPRS network. The access node further includes a short messaging service (SMS) module for sending and receiving. SMS messages to the second node carrying an OTP allocated. The access node also includes a mechanism to verify a precondition before the OTP is sent to the second node.

System and method for transferring wireless network access passwords

In some aspects of the present disclosure a device is disclosed that includes a processor; a storage unit; a user interface; a transceiver; a device identifying unit arranged to store device identifying data; a memory unit arranged to store machine-executable instructions that when executed by the processor causes a password to be generated, based on the device identifying data, that is arranged to allow the device to access a public wireless local area network (PWLAN).

System and method for extending secure authentication using unique session keys derived from entropy

The present disclosure provides an access node for transferring and/or assigning network passwords. The access node includes a first interface for sending and receiving communication of a first type to and from a first node operating in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The access node also includes a second interface for sending and receiving communication of a second type to and from a second node in a mobile network, such as a GSM/GPRS network. The access node further includes a short messaging service (SMS) module for sending and receiving SMS messages to the second node carrying an OTP allocated. The access node also includes a mechanism to verify a precondition before the OTP is sent to the second node.

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of communications systems, and more particularly, to a system and method for extending secure authentication using unique session keys derived from entropy generated by authentication method. In one example, a method for utilizing a public wireless local area network for a client with a smart card includes: creating an one-time password for a client upon a successful authentication; storing the password and identification information of the client; and utilizing the password and the client identity information to authenticate the client in the public wireless local area network.

System and method for extending secure authentication using unique session keys derived from entropy generated by authentication method

The present disclosure provides a system and method for providing unified accounting for a network including GSM, WAIN and WLAN components.
