Claim:
1. A method for managing data communication between a communication device and another device in a communication network, comprising: providing data for transmission by the communication device; and controlling by at least one secure management element operating in a secure environment in the communication device, separate from a main operation of the communication device, the transmission of the provided data by the communication device so as to manage data transmitted by the communication device, and so that data and program elements running in the secure environment cannot be accessed by the main operation of the communication device including a main operating system of the communication device, wherein controlling includes controlling an amount of data transmitted, controlling a time of transmission of data or controlling a periodicity for transmission of data; thereby preventing by the at least one secure management element further transmissions of data controlled by the at least one secure management element when the data transmitted by the communication device reaches a limit, wherein the at least one secure management element operating in the secure environment in the communication device operates on the provided data using a secure code to provide data in a modified form, and wherein the secure code is generated according to at least one parameter identifying at least one of the amount of data to be transmitted, the time of transmission of data, or the periodicity for transmission of data.
