An approach is provided for causing an extension of secure emergency network resources via one or more trusted point of presence. The approach involves determining a networking context, wherein the networking context initiates a request to join an extension mesh network to a currently trusted network. The approach also involves determining a target network trust level associated with the networking context, the currently trusted network, or a combination thereof. The approach further involves selecting the extension mesh network based on the target network trust level. The approach also involves initiating a joining of the extension mesh network to the currently trusted network.

An approach is provided for secured mobile printing. A printing platform receives a printing request, generates authenticating information associated with the print request, and sends the authenticating information to a mobile device for retrieval of printed materials generated in response to the printing request.

Method and system for secure mobile printing

Methods, devices, and storage media for user devices to operate in multiple modes and provide mode indicators that indicate the mode in which the user device operates, and a network that provides multimode services that include monitoring service events associated with the multiple modes, control modes of operation, and allow users to view, manage, and classify service usage information that includes service event information and correlated mode information.
