The present invention relates to a method for distribution of information in a primary cellular network. At least one second network or at least one second entity is using a User Equipment (UE) for forwarding information between the second network or entity and a service provider, wherein the second network or entity provides the UE with information about its properties. The method comprises the steps of: (1) the UE sending a first message to a third entity in a third network to inform about the location and properties of the UE, (2) the first message being such that it triggers the third entity to send system information to the UE. What particularly characterizes the method is that the UE sendssecondary data in the first message to the third entity, said secondary data comprising information about the properties of the second network or entity.

Methods and arrangements in a WSAN Gateway (), a WSAN Manager () and a WSAN sensor for attaching an additional sensor () to a WSAN () comprising at least one existing WSAN sensor (). The additional sensor emits an indication of its private identity after insertion in the WSAN, and the indication is received by the existing sensors in the WSAN and forwarded to the WSAN Gateway, after an eligibility check. Thereafter, the WSAN Gateway sends an authentication request to the WSAN Manager, which computes an authentication vector and transmits to the WSAN Gateway for the authentication of the new sensor.

A method and apparatus for tracking resources in a communication network. A central resource tracking function receives a request to track a resource from a location application node. The central resource tracking function broadcasts a subscription message to a plurality of Wireless Sensor Network Gateway nodes. The subscription message includes an identifier associated with the tracked resource. The central resource tracking function then receives a subscription response message from a first Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node informing the central resource tracking function that the resource associated with the identifier is located in the Wireless Sensor Network served by the first Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node, and receiving from a second Wireless Sensor Network Gateway node a subscription rejection message.

Tracking network resources

The present invention relates to a key management method to establish selective secret information in multiple disjoint groups, more specifically to a method of reducing the broadcast size in access hierarchies and localize and facilitate management in said access hierarchies. The key management method selects a number of subgroups. Each subgroup supports an instance of a key distribution method for receiving distributed key material, and is capable of computing a usage security key based on the distributed key material and predefined user group key material.

Key management method

A system, method, and owner node for securely changing a mobile device from an old owner to a new owner, or from an old operator network to a new operator network. The old owner initiates the change of owner or operator. The old owner or operator then commands the mobile device to change a currently active first key to a second key. The second key is then transferred to the new owner or operator. The new owner or operator then commands the mobile device to change the second key to a third key for use between the mobile device and the new owner or operator. Upon completion of the change, the new owner or operator does not know the first key in use before the change, and the old owner does not know the third key in use after the change.

According to a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of at least partly delegating processing of data in a machine-to-machine system to reduce computational load on a broker entitywhile maintaining security of the data to be processed, the broker entityserving as a link between a nodeof a sensor network providing the data and an application noderequesting the data. In the method, at the broker entity, following receipt of a request for processed data from the application node, determining the node to provide the data to be processed, generating a data key for the data-providing node, generating a data-processing algorithm for processing the data in dependence upon the request, sending the data key to the data-providing node, and sending the data key and data-processing algorithm to a remote data-processing entity. At the data-providing node, encrypting the data using the data key and sending the encrypted data to the data-processing entity. At the data-processing entity, decrypting the data using the data key, processing the data using the data-processing algorithm, and sending the processed data to the application node

The invention relates to a method for installing a target application on an NFC-enabled device, such as an NFC-enabled mobile phone. If the NFC-enabled device is unable to identify or find the target application associated with a Target Identifier (Target ID) in a received Generic Control record, a look-up table in which Target IDs are associated with target URIs from which installation files for the target applications of the Target IDs can be downloaded is used to retrieve the target URI of the Target ID in the received Generic Control record. One or several installation files for the target application are then downloaded from the retrieved target URI, whereupon the target application of the Target ID in the received Generic Control record is installed on the NFC-enabled device using the downloaded installation file(s).

The present invention involves establishing a top-level key and optionally also a verification tag. The top-level key is used as the MDP key for encrypting a broadcast medium. Only the part of the key message that contains the encrypted top-level key is authenticated, e.g. using a signature or a Message Access Code (MAC). Any known group-key distribution protocol can be used that is based on the creation of a hierarchy of keys. Examples of such methods are the LKH and SD methods. The group-key distribution protocol output key H, traditionally used as the MDP key, or a derivative thereof is used to encrypt the top-level MDP-key. The invention, further, includes optimization of a group-key message by eliminating unnecessary message components relative a specified group or sub-group of users. The optimization can be made in dependence of contextual data such as user profile, network status, or operator policies.
