Abstract
According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising a memory configured to store access control parameters, and at least one processing core, configured to replace a first access control mechanism in a remote node with a second access control mechanism which is defined by the access control parameters, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations.

An apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- store access control parameters;
- replace a first access control mechanism in a remote node with a second access control mechanism which is defined by the access control parameters, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations.
An apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive, from a user equipment, access control parameters defining an access control mechanism, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations;
- obtain a random sequence and a response to the random sequence using the access control parameters, and transmit the random sequence to a second user equipment as a challenge, and
- verify a reply from the second user equipment matches the response.
A method in an apparatus, comprising:
- storing access control parameters, and
- replacing a first access control mechanism in a remote node with a second access control mechanism which is defined by the access control parameters, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations.
A method in an apparatus, comprising:
- receiving, from a user equipment, access control parameters defining an access control mechanism, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations;
- obtaining a random sequence and a response to the random sequence using the access control parameters, and transmitting the random sequence to a second user equipment as a challenge, and
- verifying a reply from the second user equipment matches the response.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a set of computer readable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause an apparatus to at least:
- store access control parameters;
- replace a first access control mechanism in a remote node with a second access control mechanism which is defined by the access control parameters, the access control parameters comprising references to a mathematical operations database, the references comprising mathematical operation identifiers, and at least one connector defining a sequence of mathematical operations.
