Abstract

Software reconfigurability of air interfaces, the actual reconfiguration processes and the procurement of reconfiguration software are posing substantial threats to the system integrity of wireless communication system. These threats are investigated and reported, and mechanisms to ensure secure reconfiguration procedures are described. The security mechanisms documented form part of the MVCE reconfiguration management architecture (RMA).
