Abstract
A radio access network node and a user equipment may be configured with a private key and a complementary public key, respectively, to be used to determine whether radio resource control signal connection establishment messages received at the user equipment are received from a legitimate node or from a false base station. The user equipment may request from a node that broadcast a connection establishment message an on demand digital signature based on the connection establishment message. In response to the request, the node may transmit, via an on demand system information message, an on demand digital signature generated based on the connection establishment message and the private key. The user equipment may determine a local digital signature based on the connection establishment message and the public key. The user equipment may perform a connection establishment action based on whether the local digital signature matches the on demand digital signature.
