Abstract
The invention proposes a method and device for protection of data for devices connected in a network such as a local area network or LAN. The method and device can for example be implemented on a gateway, which acts as an interconnecting device between the devices in the LAN network and that can offer these devices an access to an external network such as a wide area network or WAN. The method and device thus offers a protected environment for applications that are executed on the gateway, such as applications downloaded from the WAN. The method and device gives the applications executed on the gateway controlled access to the LAN resources in order to protect the data that the LAN devices share within the LAN, while giving the applications access to the WAN.
