Abstract

A method for adapting the security settings of a communication station (12) depending on a security relevant event is disclosed, wherein the communication station (12) comprises a mobile terminal (16) with an identification module (18). In a first step, the security relevant event occurring in said communication station and/or said mobile terminal (16) is identified in an event handler (26, 261, 262, 27) and stored in an event registry (28). In a second step, a security registry (30) in the identification module (18) is updated according to the identified event. In a third step, the security level of the communication station (12) and/or the mobile terminal (16) is adapted according to the security registry (30) of the identification module (18). The invention also relates to a communication station (12) and to an identification module (18).
