Abstract
A device () is configured to derive a first security key based on information relating to a first node (), to request use of or to use a further device () as a relay to the mobile communication network and to determine whether the further device is connected to the first node and/or receive a message when another device, e.g. the first node, has determined that the further device is not connected to the first node. The device is further configured to, upon determining that the further device is not connected to the first node or upon receipt of the message, derive a second security key based on information relating to a second node () to which the further device is connected and transmit information via the further device, the information being encrypted using the second security key.
