IP3 2024 – Secure Wi-Fi Networks & VPN (10090)
This lot is generally related to wireless security. Disclosed is a technique to provide identity theft and illegitimate data exchange between a hosting wireless access node or a relay access node, a mobile device and a service provider. The mobile device is connected to the hosting wireless access node through a wireless communication module for data exchange using the relay access node. The system authenticates the mobile device by using a commissioning manager by handshaking with the mobile device and performs authentication in OSI layer 2. Also disclosed is a tunnel/optimization module to establish a tunnel with the relay access node to encapsulate the mobile device authentication credentials to transfer to OSI layer 2 for authentication and finally forwarded to the service provider. The technology may be implemented in home networks, airports, public areas, shopping malls, etc., where free wireless connection is available.
