1. A method for defining and checking a connection establishment authorization, comprising:
- specifying for a program, before transfer of the program to a device of a user, an item of authorization data of which a value of the item specifies connection establishment rights;
transferring the program jointly with the authorization data to the device;
storing the program in a memory unit of the device together with the authorization data;
initiating a connection establishment, on execution of the program via a data transmission network; and
performing one of the steps of allowing and rejecting, via a security program which is independent of the program, the connection establishment depending on the value of the authorization data.

Abstract
The present invention relates to, inter alia, a method according to which an authorization datum is predefined for a program before transmission to an appliance of a user, the value of the datum indicating a right to establish a connection. A security program which is independent of the program cited authorizes the establishment of a connection via a data transmission network during the running of the program, according to the value of the authorization datum, or rejects the establishment of the connection.

13. A data processing system for defining and checking a connection establishment authorization, comprising:
-
a program execution unit for executing a program which initiates the connection establishment via a data transmission network; and a test unit for allowing or rejecting the connection establishment depending on a value of an authorization data item assigned to the program, wherein the value specifies connection establishment rights; and a receive unit for receiving the program together with the authorization data, wherein the program is jointly transferred with the authorization data to a device of a user, the program is stored in a memory unit of the device together with the authorization data, the connection establishment is initiated on execution of the program via the data transmission network, and the connection establishment is allowed or rejected, via a security program which is independent of the program, depending on the value of the authorization data.

14. An article of manufacture with a computer program embodied therein, the computer program comprising:
-
a code segment for effecting determination of a value of an authorization data item, the value specifying a connection establishment right; a code segment for effecting allowance or rejection of a connection establishment of another program; a code segment for effecting specification of a program, before transfer of the program to a device of a user, the item of authorization data; a code segment for effecting transfer of the program jointly with the authorization data to the device; a code segment for affecting storage of the program in a memory unit of the device together with the authorization data; a code segment for affecting initiation of the connection establishment, upon execution of the program via a data transmission network; and a code segment for affecting allowance or rejection, via a security program which is independent of the program, the connection establishment depending on the value of the authorization data.
