Services are provided for terminal devices, each having a TPM module. The TPM module of a terminal device transmits a service request with an ID assertion signed by a configurable credential to a server for the purpose of accessing the services of the server.

15. A method for provision of services for terminal devices, each of which has a trusted platform module, comprising:
-
configuring, by a network operator in a trusted platform module of a terminal device, an access control list containing credentials associated with different servers for different services; and sending, by the trusted platform module of the terminal device, a service request with an identification assertion, signed by a configurable credential, to a server for access to the services thereof, if the configurable credential exists as an entry in the access control list. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A terminal device communicating with a server, comprising:
a trusted platform module sending a service request with an identification assertion, signed by a configurable credential, to the server for access to services provided by the server, if the configurable credential exists as an entry in an access control list containing credentials associated with different servers for different services and being configured by a network operator in the trusted platform module of the terminal device. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. A server for provision of services for at least one terminal device having a trusted platform module, comprising:
-
a receiver receiving from the at least one terminal device a service request with an identification assertion, signed by a configurable credential, for access to services provided by the server, if the configurable credential exists as an entry in an access control list containing credentials associated with different servers for different services and being configured by a network operator in the trusted platform module of the at least one terminal device; and a processor programmed to perform operations following receipt of the service request with the identification assertion signed by a configurable credential, including validating the credential for the provision of at least one service for the at least one terminal device and verifying a signature included in the identification assertion.

27. A system for provision of services, comprising:
-
terminal devices, each having a trusted platform module with a network operator configuring credentials and sending service requests with identification assertions, signed by a configured credential, for access to a service if the configurable credential exists as an entry in an access control list containing credentials associated with different servers for different services and being configured by the network operator therein; and a server validating the credential for the provision of at least one service for one of the terminal devices and verifying a signature included in the identification assertion.
