Abstract

A same wireless access profile is installed on each of multiple mobile communication devices. The wireless access profile includes outer identity information and anonymous inner identity information for each service. The anonymous inner identity information includes a credential used by each of the multiple mobile communication devices to use the service. To use the service such as access a remote network, a respective mobile communication device communicates an anonymous username and password assigned to the service to a policy server during first level authentication. The policy server stores a network address of the authenticated mobile communication device. During second level authentication, the policy server receives an identity of the mobile communication device from a network gateway. The policy server provides access control information (assigned to the service) to the network gateway. The network gateway then provides access to the mobile communication device in accordance with the access control information.
