A method includes receiving, at a first wireless device, from a second wireless device, content and an identification of the second wireless device, over a peer-to-peer wireless communication link. The received content is rendered and verification information containing the identification of the second wireless device and an identification of the received content is generated at the first wireless device. The verification information is then encrypted at the first wireless device using an encryption key. Apparatus and a computer program product counterparts to the method are also disclosed.

Verification of peer-to-peer multimedia content

An approach is provided for managing subscriber identity and location information within a mobile telecommunication network. Transmission of location data to a third party over a communication network is initiated, the location data being indicative of a geographical location of an apparatus. Transmission of an access request to a networking node including a destination application is initiated, the access request including a unique identifier of the apparatus.

Provision of location information

A method of passing location data within a communication network to a third party is provided. The location data is indicative of a geographical position of a mobile telecommunications device. The method includes the steps of determining the location data associated with the telecommunications device, receiving from the mobile telecommunications device an access request including a destination application and a unique identifier of the mobile telecommunications device, determining an alias identifier for the mobile telecommunications device, replacing the unique identifier in the access request with an alias identifier for the telecommunications device, forwarding the access request to the destination application, and forwarding the location data with the alias to the destination application. The destination application is then able to associate the access request with the location data.

In a communication system a request for location information associated with a target user is signalled from an entity. Said request contains information identifying the requestor of said location information. A verification is performed based on said identifying information if the target user has authorized the requester to initiate provision of location information that associates with the target user. The location information provision is initiated if it is determined that the requester is authorised by the target user to initiate provision of location information that associates with the target user.

Method for the provision of location information

A telecommunications system comprises at least one user and provides a first entity for storing information defining a privacy profile for at least one user. A second entity is arranged to store an association between at least one user and the first entity and the system is such that in response to a request for information relating to the user, the association stored in the second entity is used to identify the first entity so that a check can be made with respect to the privacy profile as to whether or not the requested information, can be provided.
