ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a fleet managing system in which fleet data can be securely managed and disseminated to a selective group of mobile stations serviced by a carrier infrastructure. The fleet managing system relies on a series of consecutive transitive trusts between pairs of components in the system so that all communications from a provisioning entity to the mobile stations are secure. The access to the fleet managing system is guarded with a challenge response every time there is a request arriving at the system while the mobile stations are verified by an account manager in the system to ensure that the fleet data is eventually pushed to the correct group of mobile stations. Apart distinctly from existing fleet managing systems for mobile stations, the present invention provides secure means for an authorized entity, from anywhere at any time, to control the dissemination of mobile data to a specified group of mobile stations without incurring additional costs to or direct involvement of a service carrier.
