American multinational technology conglomerate Cisco Technology, Inc. has filed a patent, which describes a communication network that receives session request data associated with a User Equipment (UE), which includes blockchain authentication data.
According to the application, a network function entity selects a Blockchain Authentication Function (BAF) entity based on the session request data, and exchanges "at least a portion of the blockchain authentication data with the BAF entity over a blockchain network interface."
Thus Cisco hopes various mobile devices will be able to use blockchain features in telecommunications networks like 5G networks in order to increase data transmission speed.
