1. A method for providing encrypted data to an internet protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS)-capable device, the method comprising:

  • automatically detecting the IMS-capable device when the device is situated in a customer device zone comprising a spatial volume within which a signal transmitted by the IMS-capable device can be received and a signal not transmitted by the IMS-capable device can be received by the IMS-capable device;

    in response to automatic detection of the IMS-capable device, transmitting a security key to the IMS-capable device so as to enable the IMS-capable device to decode the encrypted data; and

    registering the IMS-capable device with an IP media subsystem by receiving one or more device attributes transmitted by the IMS-capable device in response to the IMS-capable device receiving the security key, the device attributes specifying at least one of a media type, device type, or password for the IMS-capable device.
