Abstract:
1. A method for improving the security of actions performed by Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) invoked during a TR-069 Remote Management Protocol session between an Auto-Configuration Server (ACS) and a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) of a DSL telecommunication system, said TR-069 session including a plurality of said RPCs executing actions on parameters of an object model, the method comprising: starting a TR-069 Remote Management Protocol session invoking RPCs; opening a transactional TR-069 session such that parameters of said object model handled by RPCs are protected through a SavePoint mechanism; closing said transactional TR-069 session by said ACS; committing said transactional TR-069 session via a StoreSavePoint RPC invoked by said ACS if the RPCs succeed; and rolling-back actions of RPCs via a RestoreSavePoint RPC invoked by said ACS if the RPCs fail.
