Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: in response to a first communication network of a hybrid communication system being aware of a potential for a mismatch of reported authentication parameters associated with a second communication network of the hybrid communication system, wherein the first communication network is used to transport the reported authentication parameters to the second communication network, the first communication network preventing the mismatch of the reported authentication parameters in the event that a mobile device accesses the hybrid communication system in a first communication mode supported by the first communication network but seeks to perform a registration process associated with a second communication mode supported by the second communication network; wherein the mobile device is configured to selectively operate in the first communication mode supported by the first communication network and the second communication mode supported by the second communication network, and the mobile device seeks to perform the registration process associated with the second communication mode using a global challenge authentication process; and wherein the method is performed at least in part by a processing device comprising a processor operatively coupled to a memory.
