Abstract
The invention relates to a method and a device for setting up connections between communication terminals and data and/or communication networks having wireless transmission links, for example, wireless local area networks (WLAN) and/or mobile telephone networks, and a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used, in particular, to set up a secure access to WLAN networks. It is proposed to employ a device for setting up connections between communication terminals and data and/or communication networks having wireless transmission links, for example, wireless local area networks (WLAN) and/or mobile telephone networks, wherein the device includes a unit for setting up a connection with an integrated authentication and/or identification module, wherein the authentication and/or identification module is configured so that authentication and/or identification for access to the data and/or communication network via the authentication and/or identification module is performed independent of the operating system of the communication terminal.
