Abstract
There are disclosed systems and methods for authenticating a mobile device by a network and/or for generating one or more keys that can be used for securely transmitting data between the mobile device and the network. In one embodiment, the following operations are performed by a mobile device: (i) the mobile device participates in at least a portion of a key agreement protocol with a network to compute a secret value; (ii) the mobile device obtains a response value derived from the secret value; and (iii) the mobile device sends the response value to a verification entity for use in authenticating the mobile device. There are also disclosed systems and methods for authenticating a network by a mobile device.
