Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for adaptive security. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a user equipment, at least one policy update representative of a rule defining at least one of a security level and an operation allowed to be performed at the security level; monitoring a configuration of the user equipment to determine whether the configuration of the user equipment violates the at least one policy update; and adapting, based on the monitoring, at least one of a security indicator at the user equipment and the operation at the user equipment. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.

Abstract: System and method for public wireless network access subsidized by dynamic display advertising that includes a mobile device at a location, such as a commercial establishment, detecting the presence of a Local Area Network (LAN). The mobile device requests access to the LAN from node, e.g., a hub, on the LAN. The hub requests identification information from the mobile device. The mobile device sends user information that includes identification and demographic information about a user of the mobile device to the hub. The hub gives access to the LAN to the mobile device. The mobile device now has access to a global communication data network, such as the Internet, through the hub on the LAN. The hub sends the demographic information about the users of all mobile devices at the location to an advertising server. The hub receives commercial messages from the advertising server. The commercial messages are selected based on the demographic information of the users.

Abstract: The subject of the invention is a smart card reader (31) comprising a card reader part for receiving a detachable smart card (11) connected to it and for communicating information between the smart card reader (31) and the smart card (11). In addition, the smart card reader (31) comprises a short-range communications part (32) connected to said card reader part for communicating information using a RF wireless method between the smart card reader (31) and a wireless communications terminal (8) external to it; said short-range communications part (32) comprising a processing unit (MCU) for controlling the short-range communications part. Said processing unit (MCU) contained in the short-range communications part (32) is arranged to control the operations of the card reader part in addition to the operations of the short-range communications part (32). In addition, the subject of the invention covers a method and a system.
