Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the function of a mobile station in a packet switched communication network based on a cellular network, which communication network is arranged to transfer information between a base station and at least one wireless communication device by means of a radio channel, wherein to transfer information, a transmission power on a set level is used on the radio channel. Information divided into successive blocks (10, B0-B11) is transmitted from the base station to the mobile station on the radio channel. In the method, the block also contains information (PR) relating to the power level of the transmission. In the method, a block (10, B0-B11) that is transmitted repeatedly and at fixed intervals is transmitted with a fixed transmission power to establish a reference level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for making electronic purchases. In the method according to the invention, a creditor (11) grants to a customer (10) a certificate provided with an electronic signature, and the customer stores said certificate in an electronic device (13). In connection with a purchase transaction, the customer produces the certificate to an automatic service or goods vending machine (14), which checks the certificate information. If the information is accepted, the desired purchase can be made, and the purchase information is saved in the memory of the vending machine (14). The separate purchase information stored in the vending machine memory is transferred in one batch to the data system (12) of the creditor organization (11), when a predetermined criterion is fulfilled.

Abstract: Authentication method for authenticating a mobile node to a packet data network, in which a shared secret for both the mobile node and the packet data network is arranged by using a shared secret of the mobile node and a telecommunications network authentication centre. In the method, the mobile node sends its subscriber identity to the packet data network together with a replay attack protector. The packet data network obtains authentication triplets, forms a session key using them, and sends back to the mobile node challenges and a cryptographic authenticator made by using the session key. The mobile node can then form the rest of the authentication triplets using the challenges and then form the session key. With the session key, the mobile node can check the validity of the cryptographic authenticator. If the authenticator is correct, the mobile node sends a cryptographic response formed using the session key to the packet data network for authenticating itself to the packet data network.
