Patent ID: 8793504

Claim:
A mobile data network comprising: a breakout system associated with one of a plurality of basestations, where the plurality of basestations each communicate with a corresponding antenna that transmits and receives radio signals to and from user equipment, wherein the plurality of basestations are part of a radio access network that communicates with a core network in the mobile data network, the breakout system further comprising: a service processor with a first trusted platform module (TPM) having PCRs; a system controller that provides hash values to the PCRs of the first TPM; a platform services mechanism that obtains validation quotes from the service processor and the system controller, where the validation quotes comprise digitally signed hash values from platform configuration registers (PCRs) of the trusted platform module (TPM), wherein the platform services mechanism creates an extensible markup language (XML) file with the validation quotes and sends the XML file to a network management system for validation of the system; and the network management system parses the XML file and uses public keys to compare the validation quotes to known good values stored in a database by the network management system to validate the system.
