Abstract:
In some examples, a terminal can establish wireless communication with a base station. The terminal can determine a challenge, transmit the challenge, receive a response, and determine that the response is valid. The terminal can, in response, establish a secure network tunnel to a network node. In some examples, a terminal can determine a first communication parameter associated with communication with the base station. The terminal can receive data indicating a second communication parameter via a secure network tunnel. The terminal can determine that the communication parameters do not match, and, in response, provide an indication that an attack is under way against the network terminal. Some example terminals transmit a challenge, determine a response status associated with the challenge, and determine that an attack is under way based on the response status.
