Devices and method for controlling features on a device

摘要

There is provided a method for controlling features (14) on an integrated device system (11, 13) comprising the steps of: providing at least one feature controller (12) in the system capable of performing cryptographic operations; establishing a connection between the feature controller and a feature control server (16); receiving a feature set from the feature control server, the feature set having undergone cryptographic processing; performing complimentary cryptographic processing on the received feature set to permit implementing the feature set in the system; and implementing the feature set to control one or more of the features.
