Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for managing security of a communication setup. The communication setup may be associated with an identification module that stores identification information used in a communications network. Security related data stored in the identification module may be updated based on an event that relates to hardware configuration of the communication setup, and security functions in the communication setup may be controlled based on the security related data. Controlling the security functions may comprise restricting access setup applications in the identification module by other components of the communication setup, limiting right of one or more applications executed in the communication setup, and/or determining authentication requirements for an application run by the identification module. The communication setup may comprise a workstation and a mobile terminal with the identification module.
