Abstract
A system for authorizing information services that are provided via broadcast messages to mobile stations. The broadcast messages are encrypted prior to being communicated to devices within a geographic area. The mobile stations are provided with a client application that retrieves cryptographic keys associated with the information services to which a customer is subscribed. When the mobile station receives encrypted broadcast messages, the client application determines if it has the cryptographic key to decrypt the message. If so, the information contained in the message is displayed. If not, then the message is ignored by the mobile station.
Description
- The present invention is directed to wireless services. In particular, the present invention is directed to a system for authenticating messages transmitted via a broadcast mechanism to a client device.
- Global system for mobile communication (GSM) is one of the most widely wireless access systems in today's fast growing communication systems. GSM provides circuit-switched data services to subscribers, such as mobile telephone or computer users. General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), which is an extension to GSM technology, introduces packet switching to GSM networks. GPRS uses a packet-based wireless communication technology to transfer high and low speed data and signaling in an efficient manner. GPRS optimizes the use of network and radio resources, thus enabling the cost effective and efficient use of GSM network resources for packet mode applications.
- Conventional GSM systems provide for broadcast services, such as cell broadcast. When a cell broadcast is made, all clients of such systems receive the broadcast message. Conventional systems are unable to place limitations on which clients are able/authorized to receive specific broadcast messages. This prevents providers from determining which subscribers are actually listening to the message and from authenticating who may receive the broadcast messages.

The broadcast messages are encrypted prior to being communicated to devices within a geographic area. The mobile stations are provided with a client application that retrieves cryptographic keys associated with the information services to which a customer is subscribed. When the wireless device receives the encrypted broadcast messages, the client application determines if it has the cryptographic key to decrypt the message. If so, the information contained in the message is displayed. If not, then the message is ignored by the mobile station.
- The wireless network includes a push proxy gateway (PPG), a short message peer to peer (SMPP) router that receives SMPP messages from the push proxy gateway and converts the SMPP messages to cell broadcast messages, and a cell broadcast center that communicates the cell broadcast messages to the mobile station client application.

The S-CSCF 144 performs the session control services for theMS 102. This includes routing originating sessions to external networks and routing terminating sessions to visited networks. The S-CSCF 144 also decides whether an application server (AS) 152 is required to receive information on an incoming SIP session request to ensure appropriate service handling. This decision is based on information received from the HSS 150 (or other sources, such as an application server 152). TheAS 152 also communicates to a location server 156 (e.g., a Gateway Mobile Location Center (GMLC)) that provides a position (e.g., latitude/longitude coordinates) of theMS 102. - The
HSS 150 contains a subscriber profile and keeps track of which core network node is currently handling the subscriber. It also supports subscriber authentication and authorization functions (AAA). In networks with more than oneHSS 150, a subscriber location function provides information on theHSS 150 that contains the profile of a given subscriber. - The
MGCF 146 provides interworking functionality between SIP session control signaling from theIMS 140 and ISUP/BICC call control signaling from the external GSTN networks (not shown). It also controls the media gateway (MGW) 148 that provides user-plane interworking functionality (e.g., converting between AMR- and PCM-coded voice). TheMGW 148 also communicates with otherIP multimedia networks 154. - With reference to
FIG. 2 , there is illustrated the operation of the present invention in greater detail. Atstep 200, theclient 102 a fetches cryptographic keys/certificates that are used to enable theclient 102 a to decrypt/decode the message in accordance with, e.g., a service subscription, network provider/carrier offering, special event, etc. The keys may be time dependent or stored in such a manner on theMS 102 such that if a customer does not pay for a service or if a promotion ends, the keys expire or are removed. Theclient 102 a would then not be able to access subsequent messages, as described below. - The embedded
client 102 a recognizes for which services the customer is provisioned. If the network changes or services are added, theMS 102 and the other network components can be updated via SMS. A device management (DM) message can be sent to theMS 102 using SMS to update the capabilities of theMS 102. TheSMSC 109 receives the SMS message to be communicated to update theMS 102. TheHLR 112 is interrogated to determine the routing information for theMS 102. TheSMSC 109 sends the short message to theMSC 108. TheMSC 108 retrieves the customer information from theVLR 114. This operation may include an authentication procedure. TheMSC 108 then transfers the short message to theMS 102. TheMSC 108 returns the outcome of the operation to theSMSC 109. If requested by the originator, theSMSC 109 may return a status report indicating delivery of the short message. - Using this mechanism, the carrier may repopulate the customer's account with new valid time dependent keys that permit access to the provisioned information and/or services. With the appropriate provisioning, it would then be possible to receive web pages and other information contained in the cell broadcast.
- At
step 202, theCBC 133 transmits a broadcast message to theBSC 106. The message is preferably encrypted or protected via a rights management system. TheBSC 106 communicates the message via theBTS 104, which is received by eachMS 102 that is able to hear the message. - At
step 204, theclient 102 a receives the message and processes it to determine if the embeddedclient 102 a is able to decrypt or authorize the message (step 206). If theclient 102 a is authorized or able to decrypt the message, then atstep 208, information received in the message is displayed on theMS 102. If aparticular MS 102 does not have aclient 102 a, or if theclient 102 a does not have authorization to decode/decrypt the message, theMS 102 will ignore the message (step 210). - Thus, a network operator or carrier may provide weather alerts or other information for a fee. If a customer subscribes to this service, the
client 102 a in the customer'sMS 102 may receive a certificate/cryptographic key related to this service that will allow theclient 102 a to decode the messages containing content related to the service. The messages may be multi-part. For example, a first encoded/encrypted XML document may be received that is decoded/decrypted by theclient 102 a. Theclient 102 a may then make a request to receive more information, such as a streaming download to display the weather for that location. - Alternatively, carriers may “push” a stream to the
MS 102 containing information about, e.g., the weather or other interest category. This may be a near real-time push, such as replay of sporting events, traffic alert details, etc. Alternative routes may be provided in the latter scenario. - While the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred embodiments of the various Figs., it is to be understood that other similar embodiments may be used or modifications and additions may be made to the described embodiment for performing the same function of the present invention without deviating therefrom. For example, one skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention as described in the present application may apply to any environment, whether wired or wireless, and may be applied to any number of such devices connected via a communications network and interacting across the network. Therefore, the present invention should not be limited to any single embodiment, but rather should be construed in breadth and scope in accordance with the appended claims.
