Patent ID: 8769308

Claim:
An in-home Node-B (H(e)NB) comprising: a processor configured to: initiate a platform validation of the integrity of the H(e)NB, the platform validation of the integrity of the H(e)NB being at least one of successful or unsuccessful, the platform validation procedure including sending an attestation of the platform's trustworthiness to a network entity upon the platform validation procedure being successful; detect a change in location by comparing at least one of a surrounding macro-cell identifier and a first corresponding radio strength or a neighbor cell identifier and a second corresponding radio strength, with at least one of an expected macro-cell identifier and a first expected corresponding radio strength or an expected neighbor cell identifier and a second expected corresponding radio strength; receive and maintain trust related credentials via a remote provisioning upon the platform validation procedure being successful, the trust related credentials enabling the adjustment of one or more secure parameters of a configuration of the H(e)NB, the condition that the platform validation procedure is successful including determining a location of the HeNB is substantially similar to a location that was determined during a previous platform validation procedure; and trigger a locking function upon the platform procedure being unsuccessful, the condition that the platform validation procedure is not successful including determining a location of the HeNB is different from a location that was determined during a previous platform validation procedure.
