Abstract
A method and apparatus operate a user client wireless communication device on a wireless wide area network. A communication link can be established at the user client wireless communication device with a user wireless wide area network communication device. A random challenge and an authentication token can be received from a wireless wide area network. The random challenge and the authentication token can be sent to the user wireless wide area network communication device. The at least one temporary wireless wide area network communication security key can be received from the user wireless wide area network communication device, where the at least one temporary wireless wide area network communication security key is for the wireless wide area network. The user client wireless communication device can operate on the wireless wide area network using the at least one temporary wireless wide area network communication security key from the user wireless wide area network communication device independent from the user wireless wide area network communication device.
