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.
