Abstract
A technique for allowing client-driven profile updates in a wireless network uses a shared character password and a shared image that is known by both a client device and a network server. In some embodiments, a random character table is generated by a client device and is used, along with the shared character password and shared image, to calculate a one-time password (OTP). The OTP is then used to both encrypt and sign a new security profile to be delivered to the network server in a profile update request. The server may then generate the same OTP using information within the request and the shared character password and shared image. The new profile may then be decrypted and validated within the server.
