Generation of a persona key

Abstract

Generating a persona key based on at least internet protocol session information associated with a user equipment and user data associated with the user equipment is disclosed. The disclosed subject matter can enable communication of the persona key to a capturing device to enable a portion of information from a user profile correlated to the persona key to be communicated to a receiving device. In some embodiments, the persona key can further be based on time, date, location, user input, etc. The persona key can be a dynamic representation of identification that can be more secure than conventional static representations. Additionally, the persona key can be communicated by optical, audio, or electromagnetic techniques that can avoid a user having to speak an account number, password, username, etc., to provide access to the portion of the information from the user profile.

         3 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the user equipment communicates with the persona key receiver device via modality selected from a group of modalities comprising a near-field-communication modality, a cellular radio modality, an optical modality, and an auditory modality. 
     
     
         4 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the persona key receiver device is separate from, but communicatively coupled to, the accessing device to facilitate accessing the user profile by the accessing device in response to the user equipment entering the service area of the persona key receiver device. 
     
     
         5 . The user equipment of  claim 4 , wherein the accessing device is not within the service area of the persona key receiver device. 
     
     
         6 . The user equipment of  claim 4 , wherein the accessing device is within the service area of the persona key receiver device. 
     
     
         7 . The user equipment of  claim 4 , wherein the accessing device is comprised in a vehicle tolling system and the persona key receiver device is oriented so that the user equipment enters the service area of the persona key receiver device prior to passing a designated tolling boundary enabling tolling in response to the user equipment entering the service area and prior to passing the designated tolling boundary. 
     
     
         8 . The user equipment of  claim 7 , wherein a second persona key receiver is also communicatively coupled to the accessing device to enable tolling of a second service area corresponding to the second persona key receiver. 
     
     
         9 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise updating the persona key seed data based on the persona key. 
     
     
         10 . The user equipment of  claim 1 , wherein generating the persona key is further based on user equipment location data. 
     
     
         11 . A method, comprising:
 generating, by a mobile device comprising a processor, a persona key corresponding to a user profile, wherein the persona key is based on persona key seed data, internet protocol session information, and a user input, wherein the persona key seed data, the internet protocol session information, and the user input are accessible via a user profile storage device to enable the user profile storage device to remotely validate the persona key enabling corresponding access to user data of a user profile stored via the user profile storage device; and   communicating, by the mobile device via a persona key receiver device, the persona key to an accessing device to facilitate the accessing device to access the user data of the user profile in response to the user profile storage device having determined, based on the persona key seed data, the internet protocol session information, and the user input, that the persona key, communicated from the mobile device, is valid.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein generating the persona key comprises the mobile device accessing carrier network data corresponding to the mobile device. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the carrier network data reflects a historical attachment of the mobile device to a service of the carrier network. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein communicating the persona key to the accessing device via the persona key receiver device employs a communication modality selected from a group of communication modalities comprising a near field communication modality, a short-range wireless communication modality, a low-power personal area network wireless communication modality, and a local area network wireless communication modality. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the accessing device and the persona key receiver device are a same device. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the accessing device is a different device than the persona key receiver device. 
     
     
         17 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 receiving, from a mobile device remotely located from the processor, a persona key, wherein the persona key is based on persona key seed data, internet protocol session information, and a historical user input;   generating a duplicate persona key corresponding to a user profile, wherein the persona key is based on the persona key seed data, the internet protocol session information, and the historical user input; and   in response to receiving the persona key from the mobile device via a persona key receiver device, enabling an accessing device to access to user data of the user profile in response to determining that the persona key is valid based on the duplicate persona key, wherein the accessing device is communicatively coupled to the persona key receiver device.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the persona key seed data, the internet protocol session information, and the historical user input are protected carrier core network data, and wherein access to protected carrier core network data is allowed in response to determining that the access is an authorized access to the protected carrier core network data. 
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 17 , wherein the persona key and the duplicate persona key are further based on a factor selected from the group of factors comprising a time, a date, and a location of the user equipment.
