Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
A method for indicating enciphering of data transmission between a mobile communication network and a mobile station (MS) in the mobile communication network, characterized in that - signals transferred between a mobile communication network and a mobile station are monitored, and - on the basis of the signal monitored, the cipher mode is indicated to the user of the mobile station.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method according to claim 1, characterized in that in addition to indicating the cipher mode, a change in the cipher mode is indicated to the user of the mobile station.
