Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method for authorizing access by a user device to at least one service offered over an Internet Protocol (IP) network is provided. A server receives a message from the user device. The message indicates that the user device is configured to support the at least one service. The server then retrieves from a database policy data associated with the user device. The server validates based on the policy data that the user device is authorized to advertise the at least one service and the at least one service is available for access by the user device. If the at least one service is unauthorized or unavailable for access by the user device, the server modifies the message to indicate one or more authorized and available services for the user device without including the at least one service.
