Abstract: Systems and methods for PKI certificate and key allocations to wireless base station radio units are provided. In one embodiment, a system for obtaining PKI credentials for a remote unit for a wireless base station, the system comprises: a remote unit, the remote unit configured to implement a radio frequency (RF) interface; a gateway coupled to the remote unit, the gateway communicatively coupled to an online provision service (OPS) certificate authority (CA); wherein the gateway is configured to generate an AuthToken unique to the remote unit, wherein the remote unit is configured to request a RU digital certificate and private key from an OPS CA based on the AuthToken.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for secure virtualized wireless base station orchestration comprises: obtaining a node certificate and private key from a global CA defining a PKI signing certificate/private key; obtaining a sub CA certificate/private key from either an edge cloud node cluster or the global CA, using a PKI request signed using the PKI signing certificate/private key; establishing an orchestration access IPsec tunnel to a cloud comprising edge cloud orchestration functions; utilizing the orchestration functions to deploy on the node virtualized entities comprising VNFs of a wireless base station; obtaining at least one VNF certificate and private key for the VNFs from the global CA using a PKI request signed using the global certificate/private key; utilizing the VNF certificate/private key, establishing IPsec tunnels between the VNFs and a wireless network services operator network and/or to an OAM secure gateway for a DMS.
