Abstract
A method for securely deploying a communication device in a communication network, the method comprising: storing a device identity and an associated token in the network; receiving, in the network, a device identity, a token and an indication of a data routing point; determining whether the received device identity and the received token correspond with a device identity and associated token stored by the network; and, if so, determining that the communication device corresponding to the received device identity has been validly deployed in the network and storing the data routing point as a destination to which data associated with the validly deployed communication device should be routed by the network.
