METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR SECURE CHANNEL INITIALIZATION
First Claim
1. A method for secure channel initialization for a client network element, the method comprising:
- sending a secure channel initialization request from the client network element; and
receiving a secure channel initialization response at the client network element, the secure channel initialization response including a server credential and a client credentialwherein said server credential and said client credential are used to establish a secure session.
