Excerpt
Excerpt: Terms: Application Configuration Access Protocol (ACAP) -- An Internet protocol (RFC-2244) that provides remote storage and access of configuration and preference information. Activation -- A process in which a mobile station and network become programmed so that a mobile station becomes operable and can be used for cellular service once authorized by the service provider. Authentication -- A procedure used to validate a mobile station's identity. Authentication Center -- An entity that manages the authentication information related to the mobile station. Authentication Key (A-key) -- A secret 64-bit pattern stored in the mobile station. It is used to generate and update the mobile station's shared secret data. The A-key is used in the authentication process.
