Abstract
A system and method are provided for management of access security for access by a multimodal device to a converged fixed/mobile network. An inter-technology change-off monitoring entity (ICME) is provided to monitor an inter-technology change-off of the multimodal device and to notify a policy manager of the inter-technology change-off. The policy manager looks up in a policy database, security policies applicable to the user of the multimodal device and the particular technology being used by the multimodal device. The policy manager conveys to various policy enforcement points throughout the converged fixed/mobile network the applicable security policies which take into account the user's identity and the access technology being used.
