Abstract: A communication system provides selective access to target wireless communication devices. A naming server system receives naming system registration messages from target wireless communication devices and address requests from user devices. The naming server system determines if the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system returns the address for the target wireless communication device. If the current time is not within the access schedule for the target wireless communication device, then the naming server system will respond with a timeframe when the target wireless communication device will be available for access.

Abstract: A communication network processes intermediate security data from intermediate access nodes on a communication path between a network access node and an end-point device to determine if the intermediate access nodes are authorized. If the intermediate access nodes are authorized, then the network processes end-point security data from the end-point device to determine if the end-point device is authorized.
