Abstract:
1. A method for controlling access of a mobile terminal to a communication network comprising a set of terminals, wherein said mobile terminal obtains access to said network as a result of a successful authentication procedure, comprising the steps of: configuring said network for propagating routing messages within said network; performing said authentication procedure of said mobile terminal; creating, as a successful outcome of said authentication procedure of said mobile terminal, a set of authentication data of said mobile terminal; making the successful outcome of said authentication procedure of said mobile terminal known to the terminals in said set by propagating among the terminals in said set routing messages that contain said set of authentication data of said mobile terminal, whereby said mobile terminal is permitted to access said network via any of the terminals in said set based on said authentication procedure, wherein said propagating routing messages that contain said authentication data is performed by a terminal from said set of terminals after said routing messages have been encrypted using a Broadcast key of said terminal, the Broadcast key being different from a public key or private key associated with said terminal; and propagating to said mobile terminal security relationships of said terminals in said set of terminals.
