A procedure for the control of applications stored in a user's subscriber identity module (SIM) in a data communication system that includes a data communication network, a terminal device connected to the data communication network and to which the subscriber identity module is connected, and an application control server that is connected to the data communication network. The subscriber identity module contains a stored application that makes use of the data communication network and that is used by way of the terminal device. A key list comprising one or more application-specific keys is stored in the user's subscriber identity module, and a corresponding key list is also stored in the application control server which is operable to control applications stored in the subscriber identity modules of multiple users of the network. The application stored in the user's subscriber identity module is activated and/or closed through the transmission, verification and use of keys stored in the key lists at the subscriber identity module and at the application control server.

Procedure for the control of applications stored in a subscriber identity module

A procedure for setting up a secure service connection in a communication system which includes a first telecommunication network, a first terminal device connected to the first telecommunication network, a second telecommunication network, a second terminal device connected to the second telecommunication network, and a telecommunication server. The first terminal device is connected via a first telecommunication connection to the telecommunication server and the second terminal device is connected to the telecommunication server via a second telecommunication connection. The unique identifying address of the first terminal device and the data needed to verify that the first terminal device is permitted access to the services of the telecommunication server are transmitted to the telecommunication server via the second terminal device and second telecommunication connection, and the data sent by the second terminal device are verified at the telecommunication server. If the first terminal device is determined to have the required right of access to the services of the telecommunication server, the first telecommunication connection from the telecommunication server to the first terminal device is set up based on the successful verification and using the address data received by the telecommunication server.
