A method is provided for managing an activation process of a secure element of a mobile station. The method includes detecting access by a computing device to an online service for managing an activation process of a secure element of a mobile station, receiving information confirming that a user of the computing device has permission to access the mobile station to confirm that the user of the computing device has permission to access the mobile station, triggering instantiation of a wallet application on the mobile station, the wallet application configured to access the secure element, triggering the wallet application to initiate activation and programming of the secure element, receiving a confirmation that activation and programming of the secure element are complete, and providing, to at least one of the computing device and the mobile station, a visual output representing that activation and programming of the secure element are complete.

Remote activation of hardware secure element/secure environment

An example method includes connecting to a call center by a user equipment (UE) device via a voice call and receiving a request for a current location. The device is determined to be in an outdoor environment if the signal strength of satellite signals used by a global positioning system (GPS) is greater than a threshold. The device is determined to be in an indoor environment if a beacon signal strength is greater than a further threshold. If the device is in an outdoor environment, the current location is determined using a standalone or assisted GPS method. If the device is in an indoor environment, the current location is the known location of the beacon or an assisted GPS method. If neither the signal strength of the satellite signals nor the signal strength of the beacon exceeds its respective threshold, the current location is determined as a last stored location.

Method and system for adaptive location determination for mobile device

Protection against security attacks involves monitoring network traffic for a computing device security attack and determining whether there is a security event, using one or more network based security tools. Next, it is determined whether an event pattern involving two or more security events meets a predetermined criteria. Upon determining that there is a security attack, corrective action is tailored, based on the type of the computing device, the operating system of the computing device, the type of security attack, and/or the available protection tools. A course of action is performed depending on whether an account of the computing device includes a security protection service. If there is a security protection service, a message is sent over a secure link to the computing device. This message includes the corrective action to cure the computing device from the security attack.

Network based device security and controls

A system and method is provided for age verification and content filtering (AV/CF) on a wireless telecommunications system capable of providing enhanced products such as Internet, WAP, messaging, games, video, music, applications, etc. A profile controls content that is accessible by a user depending upon the user's age or restrictions placed on accessible content in accordance with content categories. Rating information is obtained from content providers and mapped to content categories or content is rated dynamically. User's requests for access may be recorded whether access is provided or denied and used to provide reports including reports to account holders responsible for the user's account. In some instances, attempts to access banned information may be reported to law enforcement officials.
