The invention further consists of using a well-known access point node (APN) name, and a well-known uniform resource locator (URL) string to access a service provider specific help-portal server of the network to request information for configuring the terminal. A core part of the invention is the fact that the security of the download is ensured by means of a chain of trust that originates with a trusted home location register or the well-known APN name, and is built using a trusted APN, the well-known URL string and a trusted domain name service.Field of SearchProgramming controlHandoff Privacy, lock-out, or authentication Cabinet, housing, or chassis structure Bridge or gateway between networks Channel reservation scheme Multiple access (e.g., TDMA) Authentication by digital signature representation or digital watermark Network COMPUTER-TO-COMPUTER SESSION/CONNECTION ESTABLISHING Client/server | |
