PLATFORM VALIDATION AND MANAGEMENT OF WIRELESS DEVICES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for platform validation and management (PVM), comprising:
- receiving a PVM token in response to a validation message from a device, the PVM token including at least verification information from the device;
performing validation using predetermined information from the PVM token;
in response to failed components, sending a failure report to a device management system (DMS) to initiate remediation and revalidation; and
sending a modified PVM token with a validation result.

Abstract
Methods, components and apparatus for implementing platform validation and management (PVM) are disclosed. PVM provides the functionality and operations of a platform validation entity with remote management of devices by device management components and systems such as a home node-B management system or component. Example PVM operations bring devices into a secure target state before allowing connectivity and access to a core network.

16. A method of performing validation of a device coupled to a platform validation and management (PVM), comprising:
-
performing an integrity check of at least one pre-designated component of the device and storing integrity check results; performing a secure start-up check on the device and storing secure start-up check results; forming a validation message based on the integrity check results and the secure start-up check results; and forwarding the validation message to the PVM. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 44)

45. A platform validation entity (PVE) for facilitating platform validation and management (PVM), comprising:
-
the PVE configured to receive a PVM token in response to a validation message from a device, the PVM token including at least verification information from the device; the PVE configured to perform validation using predetermined information from the PVM token; the PVE configured to send a failure report to a device management system (DMS) to initiate remediation and revalidation in response to failed components; and the PVE configured to send a modified PVM token with a validation result. - View Dependent Claims (46)

47. A device for performing validation via platform validation and management (PVM), comprising:
-
a processor configured to perform an integrity check of at least one pre-designated component of the device and configured to store integrity check results in a memory; the processor configured to perform a secure start-up check on the device and to store secure start-up check results in the memory; the processor configured to form a validation message based on the integrity check results and the secure start-up check results; and a transmitter for transmitting the validation message to the PVM.

48. A device management system (DMS) for facilitating platform validation and management (PVM), comprising:
-
the DMS configured to receive at least one of a failure report and a PVM token, in response to a validation message from a device, from a platform validation entity (PVE) to initiate remediation and revalidation in response to failed components, the PVM token including at least verification information from the device; the DMS configured to determine availability of updates for at least the failed components; the DMS configured to prepare over-the-air updates for available updates; the DMS configured to ensure existence of trusted reference values for the available updates in a validation database; the DMS configured to send a modified PVM token and a revalidation indication to a security gateway (SeGW); and the DMS configured to send a revalidation trigger to the device.
