20220225102 | DETECTION OF ATTACKS ON RADIO AUTHORIZATION SYSTEMS - A design for secure radio authorization systems in respect of a discovery of an attack on a radio authorization system, in particular for access restriction systems, for example for securing radio keys, for example for automobiles. The design can be used in simpler systems and can be combined with the numerous known solutions, such as complex enabling signals, that, from a design point of view, are not dependent on the assumption of limited computing power. This object is achieved by a design in which the focus is not on the direct prevention of an attack, but rather on a determination of whether or not a signal is an original signal of the radio authorization system, specifically with reference to the signal and not (only) with reference to the content encoded in the signal, by checking whether a metric of the spectral distribution lies within a predetermined range. | 2022-07-14 |
20220225103 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR NETWORK ACCESS SECURITY - A method may include receiving an attach request that includes an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI) and an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), and determining whether the IMEI is associated with a user device that is not allowed to attach to the network. The method may also include determining whether the IMSI included in the attach request is stored in a database, and determining whether an IMEI associated with the IMSI is stored in the database. The method may further include determining whether the IMEI stored in the database matches the IMEI included in the attach request and denying the attach request in response to determining that the IMEI stored in the database does not match the IMEI included in the attach request. | 2022-07-14 |
