Abstract
A wireless terminal includes processor circuitry configured to establish, using a first master key, a first security context on a first radio connection with a master access node, and receiver circuitry configured to receive a re-configuration message including one or more conditional secondary cell configurations and at least one counter. Each conditional secondary cell configuration may include an identity of a candidate primary secondary cell and at least one triggering condition, the candidate primary secondary cell being used for Dual-Connectivity. The at least one counter and the first master key may be used for derivation of a second master key to be used for an establishment of a second security context with one of candidate primary secondary cells. The processor circuitry is further configured to invalidate the one or more conditional secondary cell configurations upon a change of the first master key.
