Patent ID: 8316426

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving a request for an authentication response from a response generation module (RGM) in communication with a password provisioning module (PPM) and a client application sending the request, the PPM, the RGM, and a generic bootstrapping architecture (GBA) unit being disposed at a user identity module (UIM), and the client application being outside of the UIM on a user terminal in communication with the UIM; causing a password to be sent from the PPM to the RGM in response to the request, wherein the password is generated by the GBA unit and stored in the PPM; generating the authentication response at the RGM, via a processor of the UIM, from the password and a bootstrapping transaction ID in response to the request and the password; and causing the authentication response to be sent from the RGM, off of the UIM, to the client application.
