A system is provided in which a client/server/network can implement a key management
session when the server initiates the key management session utilizing a nonce.
The nonce allows a wakeup or trigger message to be conveyed to the client such
that a service attack on the server can be avoided when a false nonce is received
by the server with an AP request message. Thus the server can disregard AP request
messages that are not accompanied by a nonce stored by the server. The method can
be implemented through circuitry, electrical signals and code to accomplish the
acts described in the method.
