1. A communication system comprising a plurality of nodes, each node capable of routing traffic in a communication system according to a plurality of security algorithms with respective security levels and comprising:
- an estimation module for estimating at least one safety degree relating to the each node;
a selection module for selecting at least one security algorithm of the plurality of security algorithms, depending on the safety degree estimated by the estimation module; and
an activation module for activating the at least one security algorithm selected by the selection module,wherein each node is connected to at least another node of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract
A method includes controlling security in a communication system that involves a node capable of routing traffic according to one or more security algorithms with respective security levels. The node is adapted to estimate at least one safety degree relating to the node, to select at least one security algorithm of the one or more security algorithms, depending on the estimated safety degree; and to activate the at least one security algorithm.
