Trustworthiness Protocol Layer for Flexible Mobile Network Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile network communication protocols integrate security functions closely with communication functions, leading to a heavy workload and complex operations for updates and upgrades, and future networks require a more independent and flexible security framework.
Innovation Solution
Implement a trustworthiness protocol layer that decouples security functions from communication functions, enabling independent evolution and flexible deployment by introducing a trustworthiness control plane and service plane protocol layers to manage and transmit trustworthiness signaling and data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If security functions are integrated with communication functions in existing protocols, then security can be provided within the communication framework, but the workload and complexity of protocol updates and upgrades become heavy and complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the integrated protocol into two independent protocol layers: a communication protocol layer responsible for communication functions and a trustworthiness protocol layer responsible for security functions. This segmentation allows each layer to be independently updated and maintained, reducing the complexity of protocol updates while preserving security functionality.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the security function (trustworthiness function) from the communication protocol and places it in a separate trustworthiness protocol layer. This extraction enables the security function to be independently evolved and updated without modifying the communication protocol, thereby reducing protocol complexity while maintaining security reliability.
2Reliability
If security functions are integrated with communication functions, then security can be provided within the communication framework, but the ability to independently evolve and flexibly deploy security functions is limited
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the protocol into independent communication and trustworthiness layers, the patent enables the trustworthiness layer to be independently evolved, updated, and deployed without affecting the communication layer, thereby enhancing adaptability and versatility of security functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The trustworthiness protocol layer is designed as a universal security framework that can provide security services for multiple communication protocols and scenarios. This multi-functionality allows the security function to be flexibly deployed across different communication contexts while maintaining independent evolution capability.
3Reliability
If multiple protocols are modified to update security functions, then comprehensive security coverage can be achieved, but the operation becomes complex and the workload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts all security-related operations from multiple communication protocols and consolidates them into a single trustworthiness protocol layer. This consolidation maintains comprehensive security coverage while significantly reducing operation complexity and workload, as security updates now require modification of only one protocol layer.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges分散 security functions from multiple protocols into a unified trustworthiness protocol layer. This merging maintains comprehensive security coverage across all communication functions while simplifying operations, as a single protocol layer now handles all security operations instead of multiple scattered protocols.

AI summary
A signaling transmission method proposes a trustworthiness protocol and protocol stack of a communication network, including a trustworthiness control plane protocol and protocol stack, and a trustworthiness service plane protocol and protocol stack. The trustworthiness control plane protocol is used for transmission of trustworthiness signaling, management of a trustworthiness capability, subscription to trustworthiness information, negotiation of a trustworthiness policy between communication nodes, a trustworthiness service, and the like. The trustworthiness service plane protocol is used for transmission and processing of trustworthiness data.
