Abstract
A system, a method and computer-readable media for supporting multiple security tiers in a network. A system is provided that includes an access terminal. The access terminal includes multiple virtual machines, which are each associated with a different security profile. The system further includes an access network that validates the virtual machines. The access network also assigns security procedures for use with the various virtual machines by referencing their associated security profiles. The system further includes a core network. The core network also enforces the various security profiles, and references the profiles in the selection of services used in the handling of communications from the virtual machines.
