Abstract
A method, and associated apparatus, improves the authentication security of authentication procedures performed by a wireless host when requesting access to communicate with a host site of a private network. A password is generated by the execution of an application at a processing device of a SIM (subscriber identity module) defined in the GSM Phase 2+ system. When generated thereat, improved authentication security results as computations need not be performed at a wireless host or other separate physical entity.
