Key Security Features
One Talk leverages Verizon's network security infrastructure to provide multiple layers of protection for communications and data. Here are the primary security mechanisms:
Secure UICC and Mutual Authentication:
- The Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) secures subscriber and network data.
- Verizon ensures mutual authentication between the network and the user, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks by rogue network base stations.
128-Bit Encryption:
- Data and signaling transmissions are encrypted using industry-standard 128-bit keys. This ensures secure communication over the network, making it resistant to eavesdropping.
Integrity Protection:
- Signals between users and the network are verified with integrity tags, ensuring the data has not been tampered with during transmission.
PIN and PUK Protection:
- Personal Identification Number (PIN) and PIN Unblocking Key (PUK) mechanisms add an additional layer of access control for the UICC, securing access to data or applications on the Verizon network.
