INTERSYSTEM MOBILITY SECURITY CONTEXT HANDLING BETWEEN DIFFERENT RADIO ACCESS NETWORKS

摘要

A method and apparatus for intersystem mobility security context handling between different radio access networks which can include a receiver configured to receive a tracking area update message from a user terminal. The message can include a first key identifier configured to identify a mapped security context and a second key identifier configured to identify a cached security context. A verifier can be configured to verify the tracking area update message with a key identified by the first or second key identifier.
