The computer systems (111-114) process hardware-embedded codes during the network processing time cycles to identify the computer systems (111-114). A security server (141-144) validates the computer system identities for the virtual network elements (121-132). A database system maintains a distributed data structure that individually associates the data services, the computer systems (111-114), the virtual network elements (121-132), and the computer system validities. The security server (141-144) and the database system could be discrete systems or they may be at least partially integrated within the computer systems (111-114) where they would typically execute during different processing time cycles from the virtual network elements (121-132).

A communication network (102) processes intermediate security data from intermediate access nodes (111, 112) on a communication path (103) between a network access node (113) and an end-point device (110, 900) to determine if the intermediate access nodes (111, 112) are authorized. If the intermediate access nodes (111, 112) are authorized, then the network (102) processes end-point security data to determine if the end-point device (110, 900) is authorized. If the end-point device (110, 900) is authorized, then the network (102) processes end-point tethering data to determine if any tethered communication devices (114) are coupled to the end-point device (110, 900). If the end-point device (110, 900) is not coupled to any tethered communication devices (114), then the network (102) authorizes a data transfer session for the end-point device (110, 900) over the communication path (103). If the end-point device (110, 900) is coupled to a tethered communication device (114), then the network (102) denies authorization for the data transfer session over the communication path (103) for the end-point device.

Abrégé

A communication system (100) provides selective access to target wireless communication devices (101-103). A naming server system (110) receives naming system registration messages from target wireless communication devices (101-103) and address requests from user devices (111-113). The naming server system (110) determines if the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device (101). If the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device (101), then the naming server system (110) returns the IP address for the target wireless communication device (101). If the current time is not within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device (101), then the naming server system (110) will respond with a timeframe when the target wireless communication device (101) will be available for access.

Abrégé

A base station (105) and user devices (101-103) exchange signaling and responsively exchange user data over BS2D traffic links (121-123). The base station (105) and user devices (101-103) exchange more signaling and responsively exchange user data directly between user devices (101-103) over D2D traffic links (221-223). The base station system (105) selects one of a plurality of D2D configurations based on system conditions and transfers D2D configuration instructions to the user devices (101-103). Some of the D2D configurations have one user device (101) as a hub device and the other user devices (102-103) as non-hub devices. The base station (105) and the user devices (101-103) exchange more signaling and responsively transfer user data and signaling using the selected D2D configuration in response to the D2D configuration instructions.

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for providing access to a trusted security zone container within a trusted security zone of a mobile device. An application may receive trusted service manager validation data from a trusted service manager. The application may also receive a trusted security zone master key, wherein the trusted security zone master key provides access to a plurality of trusted security zone containers within the trusted security zone. The application may hash the trusted service manager validation data with the trusted security zone master key. The application may generate the trusted security zone sub key based on hashing to access one or more containers. One or more signal may be transmitted to provision the set of one or more trusted security zone containers with the trusted security zone sub key. The application may provide the sub key to the trusted service manager to access a container.
