In one embodiment, a scheme is provided for managing secure registration of a mobile communications device. Upon being provided with an upgraded registration process that requires encryption, the mobile communications device has the option of continuing to register with a network node using a downgraded registration process within a specified time window which involves unencrypted registration requests and responses. Thereafter, the mobile communications device is operable to select between the upgraded and downgraded registration processes.

What is claimed is: 1. A method for managing secure registration of a mobile communications device with a network node, comprising: sending a first registration request to the network node to effectuate a first registration process, the first registration request including an authentication key generated by the mobile communications device; receiving a first registration response from the network node; sending a second registration request to the network node to effectuate a second registration process, the second registration process having a time window associated therewith; and prompting a user of the mobile communications device to select between the first and second registration process at the expiration of the time window associated with the second registration process. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the network node is operable with a wireless packet data service network comprising one of a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, an Enhanced Data Rates for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Evolution (EDGE) network, a 3rd Generation (3G) network, an Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN), a Code Division Multiple Access (ODMA) network and a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) network. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first registration message further includes request data and a response key. 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the first response message received by the mobile communications device includes the response key. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first registration process effectuates encryption algorithms for messages to and responses from the network node. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the authentication key is mapped to a personalized indicium corresponding to the mobile communications device. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the personalized indicium comprises a Personal Information Number (PIN) that is bound to an identifier associated with the mobile communications device. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of an International Mobile station Equipment Identity (IMET) parameter, an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) parameter, an Electronic Serial Number (ESH) parameter and a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) parameter. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the second registration process effectuates unencrypted data transmissions between the mobile communications device to the network node. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the time window associated with the second registration process is pre defined. 11. The method according to claim 1, further comprising updating a database associated with the network node. 12. A mobile communications device comprising: a processor configured to control at least one of a plurality of subsystems for communicating with a network node; the processor further configured to control at least one of the plurality of sub-systems for generating an authentication key; the processor further configured to control at least one of the plurality of sub-systems for sending a first registration request to a network node to effectuate a first registration process with the network node, the first registration request including the authentication key; the processor further configured to control at least one of the plurality of sub-systems for processing a first registration response received from the network node; the processor further configured to control at least one of the plurality of sub-systems for sending a second registration request to the network node to effectuate a second registration process, the second registration process having a time window associated therewith; and the processor further configured to control at least one of the plurality of sub-systems for prompting a user of the mobile communications device to select between the first and second registration process at the expiration of the time window associated with the second registration process and thereafter process the user's selection. 13. The mobile communications device according to claim 12, wherein the network node is operable with a wireless packet data service network comprising one of a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) network, an Enhanced Data Rates for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) Evolution (EDGE) network, a 3rd Generation (3G) network, an Integrated Digital Enhanced Network (IDEN), a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) network and a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UNTS) network. 14. The mobile communications device according to claim 12, wherein the first registration message further includes request data and a response key. 15. The mobile communications device according to claim 14, wherein the first registration response received from the network node comprises the response key. 16. The mobile communications device according to claim 12, wherein the first registration process effectuates encryption algorithms for messages to and responses from the network node. 17. The mobile communications device according to claim 12, further comprising a personalized indicium mapped to the authentication key. 18. The mobile communications device according to claim 17, wherein the personalized indicium comprises a Personal Information Number (PIN) that is bound to an identifier associated with the mobile communications device. 19. The mobile communications device according to claim 18, wherein the identifier comprises at least one of an International Mobile station Eguipment Identity (IMFI) parameter, an International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) parameter, an Electronic Serial Number (ESM) parameter and a Mobile Identification Number (MIN) parameter. 20. The mobile communications device according to claim 12, wherein the second registration process effectuates unencrypted data transmissions between the mobile communications device and the network node.
