Method and apparatus for security configuration and verification of wireless devices in a fixed/mobile convergence environment

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing element in communication with to the memory, wherein the processing element is configured to:
• receive, from a network entity via a first wireless network, a message configuring of one or more event notifications as part of a registration process with the network entity, where the first wireless network comprises a first wireless communications protocol, wherein the one or more event notifications comprise at least one of an application change, a link degradation, a discovery of a new wireless network interface, or an occurrence of a reportable event;
• generate instructions to transmit an event notification in response to an occurrence of at least one of the one or more event notifications;
• receive security configuration information for connection to a second wireless network, wherein the second wireless network comprises a second wireless communications protocol, wherein at least one of reachability of the apparatus or a token of the apparatus is validated by the first wireless network prior to receiving the security configuration information;
• and
• generate instructions to transition to a new point of attachment in the second wireless network.

A non-transitory computer readable memory medium storing program instructions executable by a processor of an apparatus to:

• receive, from a network entity via a first network, a configuration of one or more event notifications as part of a registration process with the network entity, where the first wireless network comprises a first wireless communications protocol, wherein the one or more event notifications comprise at least one of an application change, a link degradation, a discovery of a new wireless network interface, or an occurrence of a reportable event;
• generate instructions to transmit an event notification in response to an occurrence of at least one of the one or more event notifications;
• receive a security configuration information for connection to a second wireless network, wherein the second wireless network comprises a second wireless communications protocol, wherein at least one of reachability of the apparatus or a token of the apparatus is validated by the first wireless network prior to receiving the security configuration information;
• and
• generate instructions to transition to a new point of attachment in the second wireless network.
