Abstract
A method and wireless device select a set of secure network connections (230) between a wireless device (108) in a wireless communication system and a target destination system (238). A first security assessment (708) associated with each of a plurality of base station connections associated with respective each of a plurality of base stations (116) available for wireless communications with the wireless device (108) is performed. A second security assessment (716) associated with each of a plurality of subsequent network connections available between the plurality of base stations (116) and a target destination system (238) is performed. A set of base station connections from the plurality of base station connections are prioritized according to predetermined security criteria associated with the wireless device (108). A set of subsequent network connections from the plurality of subsequent network connections (230) are prioritized according to predetermined security criteria associated with the wireless device (108).
