A first infrastructure system device other than a mobile station generates
an encryption key and encrypts the encryption key with a first intrakey
associated with a first zone that includes a second infrastructure system
device other than a mobile station, yielding a first encrypted encryption
key. The first intrakey is used only by infrastructure system devices
other than a mobile station for encrypting at least the encryption key
prior to transport within the first zone. The first infrastructure system
device forwards the first encrypted encryption key to the second
infrastructure system device.
