Abstract
A method ensures secure communication of a Zero Touch Connectivity-Device (ZTC-Device) in a communication system. The ZTC-Device is configured to communicate with a ZTC-Backend of the communication system by establishing a communication link to the ZTC-Backend via a foreign Wi-Fi hotspot of the communication system. The method includes: locating, by the ZTC-Device, the foreign Wi-Fi Hotspot; identifying the Wi-Fi Hotspot; retrieving a type of trustiness of the Wi-Fi Hotspot based on the identity of the Wi-Fi Hotspot; providing the ZTC-Device and/or the ZTC-Backend with the type of trustiness; and setting, by the ZTC-Device and/or the ZTC-Backend, a security level of the communication link based on the type of trustiness.
