Abstract

An abstract and method for providing home evolved node-B (H(e)NB) integrity verification and validation using autonomous validation and semi-autonomous validation is disclosed herein.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 44 . (canceled) 
     
     
         45 . A method for performing integrity verification of a device connected to a communication network, comprising the following steps performed at the device:
 retrieving, at the device, a device configuration data sheet that contains a list of software components and associated attributes including severity information and trusted reference values (TRVs) related to the components;   measuring, at the device, an integrity metric for at least one of the components of the device;   comparing, at the device, the measured integrity metric against a TRV of the at least one component obtained from the device configuration data sheet to determine a result of an integrity verification check of the at least one component, and   if the integrity verification check fails, performing an action as indicated by severity information of the device configuration data sheet.   
     
     
         46 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the device configuration data sheet is stored in local storage on the device. 
     
     
         47 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the device configuration data sheet is stored in a secure memory at the device. 
     
     
         48 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is sending a distress message. 
     
     
         49 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is shutting down the device. 
     
     
         50 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is shutting down the device and initiating execution of fallback code. 
     
     
         51 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is quarantining the at least one measured component. 
     
     
         52 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is limiting access or functionality of the device. 
     
     
         53 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is initiating a code remediation. 
     
     
         54 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the action is reporting an at least one failed functionality related to the at least one component which failed an integrity verification check. 
     
     
         55 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the device configuration data sheet is an XML document. 
     
     
         56 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein the device configuration data sheet is signed with a digital signature. 
     
     
         57 . The method of  claim 56 , wherein the digital signature is used to determine the integrity of the device configuration data sheet. 
     
     
         58 . The method of  claim 45 , wherein an updated device configuration data sheet is provided with a code remediation.
