Method for handling security configurations in a mobile terminal or for controlling access, mobile terminal, computer program, software product and digital storage medium

摘要

A method for handling security settings of a mobile terminal (104) is proposed with the following steps:a) determining conditions of use of the terminal (104);b) setting minimum security requirements according to the conditions of use by evaluating context information on the conditions of use of the terminal (104);c) automatically setting and maintaining security settings on the terminal (104), the security settings meeting at least the minimum security requirements; andd) controlling applications according to the security settings,wherein the execution of the above steps a) to c) is controlled by at least one agent activated on the terminal (104). Furthermore, a method for checking security settings of a mobile terminal (104) is proposed with the steps:A) locating the terminal (104);B) contacting the terminal (104);C) detecting whether an agent for carrying out the method according to one of claims 1 to 5 is installed and activated on the terminal; andD) If the answer to step C) is no, issuing a warning, steps A) to D) being performed by an entity (110) outside the terminal (104). The invention further relates to a mobile terminal (104), which is set up to execute the handling method, as well as a computer program, a software product and a digital storage medium for carrying out one of the methods.
