US Classification:

726 2, 726 4, 726 21

Abstract:

A web service request from a device is received at a web service provider. The web service request is authenticated at the web service provider using the IMS network. A requested web service is provided to the device responsive to the authentication of the web service request. The web service request may be received via a path outside of the IMS network, e. g. , over a network using HTTP or other non-IMS protocol. The requested web service may also be provided using a web service response communicated to the device via a path outside of the IMS network.

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 5, 713168, 380247

Abstract:

A communication network provides access to a network service by providing an additional level of authentication beyond device level authentication. Operations include receiving a message at a Bootstrapping Server Function (BSF) from User Equipment (UE) that additional authentication beyond UE authentication is required for UE access to a network service, and performing an authentication protocol between the BSF and a Home Subscriber System (HSS) to authenticate an identity associated with the UE responsive to receiving the message.

Inventors:

Loraine Beyer - Hoover AL, US
Amy Zwarico - Mountain Brook AL, US

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709230

Abstract:

A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message including an embedded web service request is received at an IMS network from a device. The received SIP message is protocol translated to generate a non-IMS message including the web service request. The non-IMS message is conveyed to a web service provider, and a requested web service corresponding to the non-IMS message is conveyed from the web service provider to the device. The SIP message may include a SIP INVITE message containing an embedded SOAP message.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

726 5

Abstract:

An IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network supports provision of web services. A Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message including an embedded SOAP message from a device is received. The received SIP message is transmitted to a SIP-enabled web service provider. An authentication request including an IMS identifier is received from the web service provider. The IMS identifier is authenticated and an authentication response is transmitted to the web service provider responsive to authentication of the IMS identifier. The requested web service is conveyed from the web service provider to the device.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709230, 709227

Abstract:

An IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network provides access to Web services. A HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) message addressed to a Web Service Provider along with the IMS identifier from a device is received in the IMS network. The IMS network validates registration of the device. The IMS identifier and the HTTP message are communicated to the Web Service Provider. A Web service is conveyed from the Web Service Provider to the device.
