Abstract

In a first configuration, a UE receives, from a service provider, a certificate authority list. The certificate authority list is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the UE. The UE authenticates a server using the received certificate authority list. In a second configuration, the UE receives a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server. The UE sends a protected reception report to the server based on the reception report configuration. In a third configuration, the UE receives a protected broadcast announcement and communicates based on the broadcast announcement. The broadcast announcement is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and stored on a smartcard in the UE.

Claims (56)

1. A method of wireless communication of a user equipment (UE), comprising:

receiving, from a service provider, a certificate authority list, the certificate authority list being at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the UE;

receiving a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server;

setting up a secure connection with the server;

authenticating the server using the received certificate authority list; and

sending a reception report to the server through the secure connection based on the address and the reception report configuration.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the certificate authority list includes certificates of trusted certificate authorities.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a certificate of the server; and

determining to setup the secure connection with the server upon authenticating the server,

wherein the authenticating comprises determining the received certificate is from a trusted certificate authority based on a comparison of the received certificate and the certificate authority list.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the credential is a shared key known by the UE and the service provider.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the shared key is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) request key (MRK), an MBMS User Key (MUK), or a key derived from one of the MRK or the MUK.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the secure connection is through Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user service discovery/announcement is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the UE and a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC).

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the credential is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) service key (MSK).

9. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

means for receiving, from a service provider, a certificate authority list, the certificate authority list being at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the apparatus and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the apparatus;

means for receiving a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server;

means for setting up a secure connection with the server;

means for authenticating the server using the received certificate authority list; and

means for sending a reception report to the server through the secure connection based on the address and the reception report configuration.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the certificate authority list includes certificates of trusted certificate authorities.

11. The apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising:

means for receiving a certificate of the server; and

means for determining to setup the secure connection with the server upon authenticating the server,

wherein the means for authenticating authenticates the server by determining the received certificate is from a trusted certificate authority based on a comparison of the received certificate and the certificate authority list.

12. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the credential is a shared key known by the apparatus and the service provider.

13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the shared key is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) request key (MRK), an MBMS User Key (MUK), or a key derived from one of the MRK or the MUK.

14. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the secure connection is through Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

15. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the user service discovery/announcement is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the apparatus and a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC).

16. The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the credential is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) service key (MSK).

17. An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured to:

receive, from a service provider, a certificate authority list, the certificate authority list being at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the apparatus and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the apparatus;

receive a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server;

set up a secure connection with the server;

authenticate the server using the received certificate authority list; and

send a reception report to the server through the secure connection based on the address and the reception report configuration.

18. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the certificate authority list includes certificates of trusted certificate authorities.

19. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

receive a certificate of the server; and

determine to setup the secure connection with the server upon authenticating the server, wherein the at least one processor authenticates by determining the received certificate is from a trusted certificate authority based on a comparison of the received certificate and the certificate authority list.

20. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the credential is a shared key known by the apparatus and the service provider.

21. The apparatus of claim 20 , wherein the shared key is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) request key (MRK), an MBMS User Key (MUK), or a key derived from one of the MRK or the MUK.

22. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the secure connection is through Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS).

23. The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the user service discovery/announcement is at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by the apparatus and a broadcast multicast service center (BM-SC).

24. The apparatus of claim 23 , wherein the credential is based on a Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Server (MBMS) service key (MSK).

25. A non-transitory computer-readable medium,

comprising code for:

receiving, from a service provider, a certificate authority list, the certificate authority list being at least one of integrity protected or encrypted based on a credential known by a user equipment (UE) and the service provider and stored on a smartcard in the UE;

receiving a user service discovery/announcement including a reception report configuration and an address of a server;

setting up a secure connection with the server;

authenticating the server using the received certificate authority list; and

sending a reception report to the server through the secure connection based on the address and the reception report configuration.
