Abstract

This disclosure generally relates to encrypted communication between terminal devices and service applications via a communication network. Such encrypted communication may be based on various hierarchical levels of encryption keys that are generated and managed by the communication network. Such encrypted communication and key management may be provided by the communication network to the terminal devices as a service that can be subscribed to. The various levels of encryption keys may be managed to improve flexibility of the communication network and to reduce potential security breaches.
