Abstract
A first communication device having a secure access to a security module establishes a collaborative network by forming a collaborative security association with a second communication device associated with a user of the first communication device. The first communication device (a) sends an advertisement of services associated with the security module to the second communication device and receives an advertisement response from the second communication device or (b) receives a solicitation request for services associated with the security module from the second communication device. Responsive to receiving one of the advertisement response and the solicitation request, the first communication device determines whether the second communication device is authorized to access the security module. The first communication device processes and forwards security service messages between the second communication device and the security module, in response to determining that the second communication device is authorized to access the security module.
