Abstract
A communication system (100) employs a method of messaging between a subscriber unit (105) and an infrastructure communication center (101). A messaging key associated with a subscriber unit reference number is provided (203, 403) to the subscriber unit (105) and to the infrastructure communication center (101). An authentication key and/or an identifier for the subscriber unit (105) is then produced (300, 407) by either the subscriber unit (105) or the infrastructure communication center (101). The authentication key and/or the identifier is encrypted (207, 413) with the messaging key and is subsequently communicated (209, 415) between the subscriber unit (105) and the infrastructure communication center (101).
