Abstract
A registry apparatus is provided for maintaining a device registry of agent devices for communicating with application providing apparatus. The registry comprises authentication information for uniquely authenticating at least one trusted agent device. In response to an authentication request from an agent device, the authentication information for that device is obtained from the registry, and authentication of the agent device is performed. If the authentication is successful, then application key information is transmitted to at least one of the agent device and the application providing apparatus.
