Various embodiments that relate to local communication are discussed. A radio from one geographical area can enter a communication environment of a different geographical area. However, if the radio still functions consistent with the previous geographical area, then the radio will not blend into the new geographical area. Therefore, the radio can alter operational characteristics when entering the new geographical area such that the radio blends into the new geographical area from a radio frequency perspective.

Local communication

A user device transmits a login request. A provider server, receives a random number from and transmits other information to an authentication server. The provider server transmits the random number to the device. The random number is transferred to a second user device, which transmits it to the authentication server. The authentication server transmits provider authentication policy requirements and further transmits the other information to the second device. The second device transmits user validation information to the authentication server. The authentication server determines that the transmitted validation information corresponds to the service provider authentication policy requirements, compares the validation information with stored validation information for the user to authenticate the user. The second device transmits a message, including the random number and the other information, signed with a user credential to the authentication server. The authentication server transmits notice of authentication and the signed message to the provider server.

Secure authentication in a multi-party system

An authentication server transmits a random number to and receives a other information from a service provider. Later, the first random number is received from a requester and a provider identifier, the received other information and provider authentication policy requirements are transmitted to the requester. A user identifier and validation information are received from the requester. The received validation information is determined to correspond to the provider authentication policy requirements, and compared with stored user validation information associated with the received user identifier to authenticate the requester. A message, including both the random number and other information, signed with a credential of the requesting user is received and transmitted to the first provider.

A network user is authenticated to another network entity by using a first program to receive user input validation information, and store a user credential. A second program receives information, such as a random number, from the other entity. The first program receives an input transferring the information to it, transmits the information to the authentication server, and receives an identifier of the other entity, other information, and authentication policy requirements from the authentication server. It then transmits the input validation information corresponding to the received authentication policy requirements to the authentication server, and in response receives a request for a user credential. It signs a message, including the transferred information and the received other information, with the stored user credential, and transmits the signed message to the authentication server to authenticate the user.
