    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for transitioning a remote station from a current serving network node having an enhanced security context to a new serving network node. In the method, the remote station provides at least one legacy key, and generates at least one session key based on a calculation using a root key and using an information element associated with the enhanced security context. The remote station forwards a first message having the information element to the new serving network node. The remote station receives a second message, from the new serving network node, having a response based on either the legacy key or the session key. The remote station determines that the new serving network node does not support the enhanced security context if the response of the second message is based on the legacy key. Accordingly, the remote station protects communications based on the legacy key upon determining that the enhanced security context is not supported.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for a subsidizing service provider entity to personalize a subscriber device to ensure the subscriber device cannot be used in a network of a different service provider entity. As the service provider entity subsidizes the subscriber device, it desires to ensure that subscriber device is personalized such that the subscriber device may operate only in its network and not a network of a different service provider entity. The subscriber device is pre-configured with a plurality of provider-specific and/or unassociated root certificates by the manufacturer of the subscriber device. A communication service is established between the service provider entity and the subscriber device allowing for the mutual authentication of the subscriber device and the service provider entity. After mutual authentication, the service provider entity sends a command to the subscriber device to disable/delete some/all root certificates that are unassociated with the service provider entity.
