<p>A method and system for providing a record of consent in scenarios in which the user (102) and a device (104) may have to perform a function that involves two entities that don't trust each other or are not necessary interested in cooperating. In one such example, a user (102) wants to switch services from an "old" operator to a "new" operator. An operator switch without explicit user consent may have legal or business ramifications for both the "old" and "new" operators. The ramifications are even more severe if the switch is the result of actions of, for example, a hacker maliciously causing this switches in order to cause monetary or other damage to either operators or denial of service to the users. In such cases it is useful for both operators to be on record and have an archive of proof of user consent should future disputes arise.</p> |
