COMMUNICATION DEVICE MANAGEMENT OVER A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for managing a communication device that implements an application using a service offered by an application server over a telecommunications network, the communication device comprising application data specific to the application and communication data related to communication parameters for an operation of the service over the telecommunications network, the communication data being managed by a management server, the method comprising the steps of:
- negotiating an encryption key between the application server and the communication device which each save the negotiated encryption key, andexchanging messages between the application server and the communication device by way of the management server, at least one of the messages comprising application data that is encrypted with the encryption key by at least one of either the communication device (DC) or the application server (SA).

Abstract
In order to manage at least one communications device (DC) implementing an application that uses a service offered by an application server (SA) over a telecommunications network (RT), the device (DC) comprising application data (DonA) specific to the application and communication data (DonC) related to communication parameters for the operation of the service over the telecommunications network, the communication data (DonC) being managed by a management server (SG), the application server (SA) and the device (DC) negotiate and save an encryption key (Kc), and exchange messages by means of the management server (SG), at least one of the messages comprising application data (DonA) which is encrypted with the key by at least one of either the device (DC) or the server (SA).
