Control device for e.g. virtual private network gateway, has safety device connected between communication devices to control access of communication devices over communication network based on control signal

摘要

The control device (101) has a safety device (103) connected between communication devices (105, 107) to control the access of the communication devices over a communication network (117) based on a control signal. The control device is formed to generate the control signal based on an authorization status. The control signal indicates whether the communication device (105) accesses or partially accesses the communication device (107). The control device receives an information signal from the communication device (105) over the communication network. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control method for controlling a safety device (2) a safety method for controlling the access of a communication device to another communication device over a communication network (3) a computer program for performing a method for controlling a safety device.
