Cisco-Patent brings Blockchain authentication in 5G networks

5G networks promise ultra-fast mobile data rates. Cisco is working on a development based on the Blockchain, to authentication systems in 5G will realize networks.

The telecommunications giant Cisco this week received a Patent that describes a System that can be used by 5G networks to authenticate users and to pay for network services. The Patent of Cisco, on Tuesday, the 26. November, was granted, describes how mobile phones Blockchain authentication data can include, allow you access to networks. It could be used for telecommunications networks, including the new 5G networks, the extremely fast data rates promise.

The Patent describes a “native Blockchain-a platform that uses Blockchain operations, which can serve as additional, alternative or supplementary registration processes and/or Session-Management processes within a mobile network”.

In the wording of the Patent describes: “The Blockchain authentication data include Blockchain credentials that are assigned to the[device],” it says. With such a System, the user payment credits can be sent to the Blockchain network, in exchange for network services. The Blockchain System would also connect the service providers with each other, the use of it. The service provider would be able to exchange messages, such as policy requirements, network usage, and “legal queries”.

This service-oriented architecture to support implement network Slices using an isolated set of programmable resources of the individual network functions and/or application services through the software programs within a respective network Slice, without the other features and services on co-existing network-affect Slices to

The Patent suggests that the benefits of the Blockchain technology are that it allows for transparent, verifiable, and secure Digital Asset transactions with evidence of Right and ownership. 5G will be introduced this year, a gradual of large telecommunications provider. In the USA, the telecommunications provider Sprint 5G brought in nine cities, including New York, Chicago and Los Angeles, the technology is on the way.

Cisco is one of a long list of information technology companies that deal with the Integration of Blockchain technologies and the Internet of Things (IoT). Companies such as Bosch, BNY Mellon, Chronicled and Filament have used Hyper Ledger, Ethereum and Quorum, in order to develop their products and services or to improve.

In September, Cisco cooperated to offer with the provider of the services in the field of artificial intelligence: SingularityNet. This KI should be systems in a decentralised manner, by preventing a single source the learning ability of computers through the Blockchain-technologies centralized. The company has also tried to develop a more Blockchain technology would create a safer environment for group chats in a network, a patent application by March 2018.
