Methods, systems, and computer readable media for dynamically learning and using foreign telecommunications network mobility management node information for security screening

A method for dynamically learning and using foreign mobility management node information for telecommunications network security screening, the method comprising:

• operating a telecommunications network routing node in a learn mode in which traffic from foreign mobility management nodes is received and identities of the foreign mobility management nodes are learned and used to populate a security database maintained by the telecommunications network routing node;
• operating the telecommunications network routing node in a test mode to dynamically learn foreign mobility management node security status and maintaining the security status for the foreign mobility management nodes in the security database;
• and
• operating the telecommunications network routing node in an active mode to filter traffic from the foreign mobility management nodes using the dynamically learned node identities and security statuses, wherein operating the telecommunications network routing node in the learn mode includes dynamically learning time parameters usable for velocity checks between old and new foreign mobility management nodes.

A system for dynamically learning and using foreign mobility management node information for telecommunications network security screening, the system comprising:

• a telecommunications network routing node including at least one processor and a memory;
• a security database located in the memory;
• and
• a dynamic learning and screening module implemented by the at least one processor for operating in a learn mode in which traffic from foreign mobility management nodes is received and identities of the foreign mobility management nodes are learned and used to populate the security database, operating in a test mode to dynamically learn foreign mobility management node security status and maintaining the security status for the foreign mobility management nodes in the security database, and operating in an active mode to filter traffic from the foreign mobility management nodes using the dynamically learned node identities and security statuses, wherein the security database includes a static profile table for overriding dynamic learning of foreign mobility management node identities, wherein the routing node routes or blocks messages from foreign mobility management nodes based on the security status stored in the static profile table.
