Abstract
In a network, in particular an ad-hoc network AHN, having a blackboard on which all the usable services are entered, following detection of a service which has not yet been entered on the blackboard, a check is carried out to determine whether use of the service is admissible. The service is entered onto the blackboard only if use of the service is admissible. This provides centrally administrable secure use of services in plug & play networks.
