Method and apparatus for controlling country specific frequency allocation

A method for transmitting an encrypted data set between a host processor and a remote system, said remote system having a unique identifier code, each of said host processor and said remote system having a predefined encryption algorithm, the method comprising the steps of:

• transmitting said identifier code from said remote system to said host processor;
• selecting a data set appropriate for said remote system;
• encrypting said data set using said predefined encryption algorithm with said identifier code as an encryption key;
• transmitting said encrypted data set from said host processor to said remote system;
• and
• decrypting said encrypted data set using said predefined encryption algorithm with said identifier code as a decryption key, wherein said step of selecting a data set further comprises selecting a data set particular to a specific country in which said remote system is intended to operate.

A system for providing encrypted data between a host processor and a remote device over a communication channel, comprising:

• means for transmitting a unique identifier code to said host processor from said remote device in an unencrypted form;
• means for selecting a particular data set from a plurality of stored data sets;
• means for encrypting the selected data set using said unique identifier code as an encryption key;
• means for transmitting said encrypted data set from said host processor to said remote device;
• and
• means for decrypting the encrypted data set using said identifier code as a decryption key.
