1. A method for providing security in a network which comprises at least one node, the method comprising:
- setting at least one of a plurality of security parameters for a connection of a node to another node of the network, wherein at least one context-awareness parameter is checked, and at least one of the plurality of security parameters is set depending on a result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter.

Abstract
A method, system, and node provides security in a network such as a mobile proximity network and a mobile Ad-Hoc network. The security is provided by setting at least one of security parameters for a connection of a node to another node of the network. At least one context-awareness parameter is checked, and at least one of the security parameters is set depending on the result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter.

11. A method for providing security in a network which comprises at least one node, the method comprising:
-
setting at least one of a plurality of security parameters for a connection of a node to another node of the network, wherein at least one context-awareness parameter is checked, and at least one of the plurality of security parameters is set depending on a result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter, wherein a connection is established between a first and a second node of an ad-hoc network via a direct radio link, wherein when the first node requests a service from the second node, the second node checks required security based on a context of the service, starts negotiating with the first node about establishing the required security, and provides the service to the first node after establishment of the required security. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A system for providing security in a network, the system comprising:
-
a node, wherein security is provided by setting at least one of a plurality of security parameters for a connection of the node to another node of a network, wherein the node or another element is configured to check at least one context-awareness parameter, and to set at least one of the plurality of security parameters depending on a result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A system for providing security in a network, the system comprising:
-
a node, wherein security is provided by setting at least one of a plurality of security parameters for connection of the node to another node of a network, wherein the node or another element is configured to check at least one context-awareness parameter, and to set at least one of the plurality of security parameters depending on a result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter; and
an ad-hoc network including a first and a second mobile node wherein the first and second mobile nodes are configured to establish a connection via a direct radio link, wherein the first node requests a service from the second node, the second node is configured to check a required security based on a context of the service, to start negotiating with the first node about establishing the required security, and to provide the service to the first node after establishment of the required security. - View Dependent Claims (24)

25. A node connectable to another node of a network, the node comprising:
-
means for setting at least one of a plurality of security parameters for a connection of the node to the another node of the network;
wherein the node is configured to check at least one context-awareness parameter; and
to set at least one of the plurality of security parameters depending on a result of the check of the at least one context-awareness parameter. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
