Abstract

This paper gives an insight into ongoing research work, focusing on software integrity protection (SWIP) to securely manage trusted SW products in a mobile network. Concepts are discussed to meet the identified needs, aiming at harmonized approaches for a number of different use cases. Particular account is taken of keeping infrastructure efforts as small as possible, both in operator network as well as in manufacturer domain. The proposed solutions are targeting better integration of trust in mobile network environment.
