Abstract

The device obtains proof that it is authorized to use the first set of selectively activated features (first proof). The authorization server signs the first certificate with its private key. The device sends a request to a network node to use a network service. The device sends a first proof to a network node. The network node verifies the first certificate using the authorization server's public key. The network node agrees to the request to use the network service. The device sends a request for an authorization certificate (second certificate) for the network node to provide the network service. The device obtains a second certificate signed by another authorization server and verifies the second certificate before using the network service. Both the first certificate and the second certificate include a list of optional activation features that are required for use or to provide network services.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to and benefits of Provisional Application No. 62 / 202,664 filed with the USPTO on August 7, 2015 and nonprovisional application No. 15 / 082,919 filed with the USPTO on March 28, 2016, The entire contents of the aforementioned documents are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present application relates to the verification of authorization received by a device to activate a set of features that can be selectively activated to initiate or maintain a service between the device and the entity verifying the authorization. Background technique [0004] Many communication devices (eg, chip components, client devices, network nodes) provide multiple features. These features can be implemented using hardware and / or software. [0005] When an entity acquires a communication device, certain features of the communication device may be activated. Other...
