An end-to-end client server system and related method for use in conjunction with mobile terminals. A client application on a mobile terminal is configured to remotely access a backend server via a gateway system. The mobile terminal includes a client application configured to generate a one time password using secret information and a password library, both known only to the client application and a verification component of the gateway system. The one time password provides an additional level of security, which is user dependent and not network dependent.

Mobile terminal authorisation arrangements

A cellular telecommunications network that facilitates communication connections for terminals having identification modules that are not associated with a subscriber record or Mobile Subscriber Integrated Services Digital Network (MSISDN). The cellular telecommunications network implements providing a pool of unique connection numbers; in response to a request for communication with a device incorporating a token identification module, assigning a selected one of the pooled numbers to the token identification module in a location register; and initiating a reconnection event, thereby providing the assigned number to the device by associating the device with a temporary unique connection number in the location register. Embodiments described are directed to Machine-to-Machine (M2M) client terminals with embedded token identification modules.
