Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for protection against viruses / spam in mobile radio networks, with convergent message services, which are standardized by the "Open Mobile Alliance", according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
• Mobile networks are offered - and are expected in the near future (such as convergent messaging systems), more and more in terms of the functionality of the service scope of the Internet approach.
• DE 102 26 744 B4 which is based on the same applicant, relates to a method and a device for providing security functions in the transmission of data from and to a subscriber terminal of a mobile communications network.
• a device of a network node of the mobile communication network a real-time analysis of the data stream from and to the subscriber terminal is performed, whereby data is detected and further processed with contents previously defined by the subscriber or a network operator / provider.
• the terminal and attached devices of the Participant protected against external attacks.
• the disadvantage is that the data must first be defined by the subscriber or a network operator / provider in order to ensure the best possible protection.
• this requires additional hardware / software costs and, in addition, it is possible that critical data (viruses / spams) will not be detected immediately and will therefore spread in and through the recipient network and associated networks.
• the object of the invention is to provide a method for convergent message systems which allows network and platform boundaries to be exchanged for virus and spam information in order to prevent their mass distribution there.
• the basic idea of the invention is based on establishing functions in the protocol of a convergent intelligence service which make it possible to exchange virus or spam information between the network elements within a network operator or between different network operators.
• this information Based on the assumption that the individual network operators update information about viruses (such as virus signatures) and spam (sender lists, etc.) continuously in their network elements, this information according to the invention with the help of protocol elements of the "converged message service" to all or one Subset of partner systems (own network or other operators).
• the receiving systems can then decide based on certain criteria defined by the recipient whether or not the information is included in their own virus / spam libraries.
• the invention provides that o.g. Virus / Spam information can be automatically distributed to all operators connected to the function by means of the corresponding protocol elements, also via so-called broker functions.
• 1 shows the transmission of the spam / virus data of a first convergent messaging system A to a second convergent messaging system B.
• Figure 2 shows the transmission of the spam / virus data of a first convergent
• FIG. 1 shows the transmission of the spam / virus data of a first convergent messaging system of an operator A to a second convergent messaging system.
• System of an operator B shown, wherein the transmission via a protocol element of the converged intelligence service is carried out with current spam / virus information.
• this spam / virus information can then be automatically or specifically filtered in its spam / virus library as an update / update.
• the transmission via a protocol element of the convergent intelligence service with current spam / virus information is carried out via the broker function of the spam / virus information sending operator A's automated messaging system in all downstream, the spam / virus information receiving messaging systems operators B, C 1 D .... to N.
• the messaging systems of the operators B, C, D .... to N receiving the spam / virus information are defined in greater detail, including which parts of the
• Spam / virus information should be sent to the respective messaging systems operator B, C 1 D .... to N.
