It is provided an apparatus, comprising property checking means configured to check whether a claimant property information received from a claimant device corresponds to a predefined claimant attribute; obtaining means configured to obtain a result, which is positive only if the claimant property information corresponds to the predefined claimant attribute as checked by the property checking means; key generation means configured to generate a first claimant intermediate key from a predefined claimant permanent key stored in the apparatus; supplying means configured to supply, to the claimant device, the first claimant intermediate key using a secured protocol, wherein at least one of the key generation means and the supplying means is configured to generate and to supply, respectively, the first claimant intermediate key only if the result is positive.

Remote verification of attributes in a communication network

A system comprising an IMS network (), an adapter module (), an identity provider () and an application () is described. The adapter module () is within an IMS trust domain. The application () is within the trust domain of the identity provider. A user of the system can access the application () via the IMS network (), regardless of whether the application is within the IMS trust domain, by making use of the adapter module () to obtain the user's user credentials for the application from the identity provider.

Identity management system

Services are provided for terminal devices, each having a TPM module. The TPM module of a terminal device transmits a service request with an ID assertion signed by a configurable credential to a server for the purpose of accessing the services of the server.

Method and system for the provision of services for terminal devices

Arrangements for updating software, such as initial trusted code and data, are described, including providing proof of execution of the update. The mechanism for updating the software is logically or physically separated from the general purpose CPU of the system. Thus, the update mechanism can be trusted even if the system to be updated may be compromised.
