A method for delivering to a user a dedicated service restricted to a predefined service area includes, performing an access request to a dedicated service. The dedicated service is delivered from a server through a data network between a user device and the server. The method also includes determining a service profile associated with the user, and assigning to the user device a dedicated communication channel for the dedicated service. The method further includes starting a communication session with the server through the data network according to the assigned dedicated communication channel, and performing an authentication request to the server. If the service authenticates the user successfully, the position of the user is obtained, and the dedicated service is delivered to the user device.

A digital memory such as a memory card for mobile communication equipment, is adapted to be accessed by a plurality of users and have protected data stored therein. The memory is dynamically partitionable in private memory areas for storing data therein and has associated therewith a secrecy tool for securely allocating to the users respective private areas and permitting the users to access the respective private areas via a secure session channel to perform read/write commands in the respective private areas. Typically, the memory/card includes: a card interface controller for managing a physical communication layer between the digital memory and external host equipment, an internal memory having associated therewith a hardware lock to control access to the internal memory, a set of cryptographic modules to manage the secure session channel between the users and the digital memory, and a memory certificate for certifying a public key associated with the digital memory.

Users of mobile terminals in a communication network are provided controlled access to files in a file system through the steps of configuring the files as a file body containing a file content and a file header containing content profile information; providing a security identity module and a secure agent; storing in the security identity module user profile information identifying a set of content profiles allowed for access to the file system; extracting, via the secure agent, the content profile information from the headers of the files; retrieving, via the secure agent, the user profile information stored in the security identity module; checking the user profile information and the content profile information; and providing the user with access to those files in the file system for which the user profile information and the content profile information are found to match.
