Abstract
A system, method, and interface for segregating a network controller and a security gateway is provided. A security gateway-network controller interface is established between a security gateway and a network controller. One or more application interfaces are carried over the security gateway-network controller interface. An admission policy interface may be maintained on the security gateway-network controller interface that allows establishment of dynamic access control lists for admission policies applied on specific secure tunnels. Additionally, a security association-international mobile subscriber identity interface may be maintained on the security gateway-network controller interface that facilitates ensuring an IMSI used during a registration process matches an identity used to establish a tunnel. Thus, a subscriber validation mechanism is provided over the security gateway-network controller interface that couples the network controller and the security gateway.
