Abstract
Embodiments are provided for enabling identity verification of messages originating from a radio station, such as a Femto cell, to a gateway, such as a Femto gateway. In an embodiment, a radio station establishes a first connection for authentication with a security gateway, sends authentication information on the first connection, and receives in return an Internet Protocol (IP) address assigned to the radio station. The security gateway updates a Domain Name System (DNS) to map between the IP address and a DNS name for the radio station. The radio station also establishes a second connection for control messages with a second gateway, and sends the IP address and an identity of the radio station on the second connection. The mapping between the IP address and the DNS name enables the second gateway to identify messages on the second connection between the radio station and the second gateway.
