    Abstract: Methods and data processing apparatuses are provided which enable controlling, from one data processing apparatus, access to data held (for example on a queue) at another data processing apparatus. When a requestor wishes to access data held at a local data processing apparatus, a request must be sent to a remote data processing apparatus to determine the security attributes of the data (for example, retrieving queue attributes from a database). The requestor cannot access the data until the security attributes are fully determined at the local data processing apparatus, and since communication with a remote system is required to make this determination the remote apparatus is able to log the requests for data access. The security attributes are preferably an identifier of a cryptor used in compression, a compressor used in compression and an authenticator for authenticating the requestor. The determination of security attributes is preferably required to be repeated for each requestor session, with the attributes being deleted from the local data processing apparatus at the end of a session and the requestor being unable to view or save the attributes. This enables session-specific access control.

    Abstract: Provided are a method and a mechanism for dynamically controlling the performance of communication-related operations of a mobile device in accordance with legislative requirements of the particular location of the mobile device and the location of the computing device with which it is to communicate, and also in accordance with communication requirements of application programs at either end of the communication link. A first use of the invention is for ensuring conformance of a mobile device's communications to the cryptographic requirements of different countries, even when the device crosses a country boundary during communication.

    Abstract: Requests for retrieval of data items from another data processing apparatus include embedded objects having executable class functions for performing operations at the target data processing apparatus. This has the advantages of the request implicitly sending data as well as requesting data and allows the request to perform a test on data within an object (such as a comparison with parameters of the request to determine whether the request may be satisfied). Objects within the request may be embedded within each other with different encryption and compression applied to the different objects. As well as achieving communication efficiencies, the ability to selectively encrypt components of a request may be used to provide greater security. For example, a store may be able to interpret the request, while credit details may be separately encrypted such that only a bank may decrypt that subcomponent of the request.

    Abstract: Provided are methods, computer programs and apparatus for communication in a distributed object-oriented data processing environment. Requests for retrieval of data items from another data processing apparatus include embedded objects having executable class functions for performing operations at the target data processing apparatus. This has the advantages of the request implicitly sending data as well as requesting data and allows the request to perform a test on data within a object (such as a comparison with parameters of the request to determine whether the request can be satisfied). Objects within the request can be embedded within each other with different encryption and compression applied to the different objects.
