Abstract: A service is in a spatially defined trustworthy area holding at least one network component and defined by a reference data set stored on a user device and/or on the network component. When a user device moves into the trustworthy area, to connect with the network, the reference data set defining the trustworthy environment is compared with entry data detected from the user device, and the user device is only connected with the network if there is at least a rough match between the reference data set and the entry data falls. The device contacts the network component and retrieves a password saved therein in, and then communicates the password to the service that is then enabled for the user device if the password stored in the service matches the password that has been communicated by the user device to the service.

Abstract: In order to gain secure access to a service in a defined trustworthy environment holding at least one network component a password is saved in the network component. Then a user device is introduced into the trustworthy environment, and it contacts the network component device and retrieves the password saved in the network component. The device then communicates the password to the service, which in turn is enabled for the user device if a password stored in the service matches the password that has been communicated by the user device to the service.
