Security state vector for mobile network platform
First Claim
1. A method for communicating state of security in a mobile communications network, the method comprising:
- generating data regarding severity of a plurality of security events onboard at least one mobile platform in a mobile communications network;
processing the data;
generating a message that includes the processed data; and
periodically transmitting the message.

Abstract
State of security in a mobile communications network is communicated. Data regarding nature and severity of security events onboard at least one mobile platform is generated and processed. A message that includes the processed data is generated and transmitted periodically. The processed data makes up a security state vector that includes the number of security events detected since power-up of the mobile platform node, sum of highest severity security events since power-up or counter rollover, sum of the second highest severity security events detected since power-up or counter rollover, sum of the third highest severity security events detected since power-up or counter rollover, highest security event classification, second-highest security event classification, and third-highest security event classification. The processed data may be used in a network operations center to prioritize mobile platforms from which logged data should be retrieved for further investigation and monitoring.
