In a wireless communication network, an Edge Enablement Client (EEC) in a UE Gateway (GW) exchanges EDGE-5 signaling with a user app and exchanges EDGE-1 signaling with a Gateway Enablement Server (GES) in the GW. The GES exchanges EDGE-9 signaling with an Edge Enablement Server (EES) in an Edge Data Network (EDN) and exchanges EDGE-3 signaling with a Gateway Application Server (GAS) in the GW. The GAS exchanges user data between the user app and an Edge Application Server (EAS) in the EDN responsive to the EDGE-3 signaling. The EES exchanges additional EDGE-3 signaling with the EAS. The EAS exchanges the user data between the GAS and a network core responsive to the additional EDGE-3 signaling. The core exchanges the user with the AS and transfers network information for the exchange to a Digital Ledger (DL) node. The DL node determines trust based on the network information.

A system is provided for identification of secure wireless network access points using cryptographic pre-shared keys. In particular, the system may comprise a client-side application that may use a pre-shared key to generate a list of valid access point ID's in a pseudorandom manner. A server-side application may use the same pre-shared key to generate one or more access point ID's. Based on the pre-shared key, a client computing device may readily identify which wireless access points within the network are secure and trusted.

Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more computing devices to obtain, from a communications device, an identifier of the communications device transmitted via a communications network. The communications network may transmit a request for one or more parameters unique to a subscriber of the communications network. The method may also include processing signals indicative of the requested one or more parameters in response to the subscriber entering the one or more parameters into a graphical user interface of the communications device. The method may further include transmitting, to the communications device, one or more signals to provide a complement of subscriber parameters.

A security platform architecture is described herein. The security platform architecture includes multiple layers and utilizes a combination of encryption and other security features to generate a secure environment.

A security platform of a data network is provided that includes security services for computing devices in communication with the data network. The security platform may apply a security policy to the computing devices when accessing the Internet via a home network (or other customer network) and when accessing the Internet via a public or third party network. To provide security services to computing devices via the home network, the security platform may communicate with a security agent application executed on the router (or other gateway device) of the home network. In addition, each of the devices identified by the security profile for the home network may be instructed or otherwise be provided a security agent application for execution on the computing devices. The security agent application may communicate with the security platform when the computing device connects to the Internet over a third party or public access point.

A method includes identifying a potentially malicious node using a rating assigned to nodes within the network and decrementing the rating based on detected dropped messages to identify a potentially malicious node. The malicious node is identified based on location information obtained from the nodes within the network and comparable distances from the potentially malicious node. The method further includes ending communications with the malicious node and selecting a new parent node based on a presumption that any of the plurality of nodes other than the malicious node are non-malicious.

Secure, distributed radio access networks are enabled, e.g., to facilitate network resilience and security. For instance, a device can comprise a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: in response an event being determined to have occurred that affects operation of a primary radio access network, activating an alternate radio access network via a group of mobile devices and re-routing communications from being communicated via a fixed location radio access network equipment of the primary radio access network to being communicated via the group of mobile devices of the alternate radio access network.

A method at a network element for processing a first message destined for an intelligent transportation system station, the method including receiving from a sending entity, or generating, the first message at the network element; based on a source or contents of the first message, performing one of: discarding the first message; or modifying the first message to provide an indication to the intelligent transportation system station of checks the intelligent transportation system does not need to perform, thereby creating a second message; and forwarding the second message to the intelligent transportation system station.

In some embodiments, the present disclosure is directed to an exemplary process including: displaying, by a processor of a computing device, an access controller interface element and an access code on a screen of the computing device; where the access controller interface element is: communicatively coupled to a cellular network hosted access controlling schema and operationally linked to an access-restricted digital resource; transmitting, by the processor of the computing device, in response to the at least one activity, an access request having data that includes: the access code and an identity linked to the computing device; where at least one part of the data is configured to be accepted by the cellular network hosted access controlling schema; accessing, by the processor of the computing device, the access-restricted digital resource after the at least one part of the data has been accepted by the cellular network hosted access controlling schema.

Technologies are shown for trust delegation that involve receiving a first request from a subject client and responding by sending a first token having first permissions to the subject client. A second request from a first actor includes the first token and responding involves linking the first actor to the subject client in a trust stack and sending a second token to the first actor with second permissions, the second token being a first complex token that identifies the subject client and the first actor. A third request from a second actor includes the second token and responding to the third request involves linking the second actor to the first actor in the trust stack, and sending a third token to the second actor partner with third permissions, the third token being a second complex token that identifies the first actor and the second actor.
