Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided an apparatus, method and computer program for causing a first apparatus to: obtain an identifier of a cryptographic key according to a first security communication protocol; signal, to a second apparatus, a first authentication request according to a second security communication protocol, the first authentication request comprising the identifier of the cryptographic key and a first verifying information according to a second security communication protocol, wherein the first verifying information comprises a first value calculated using the cryptographic key; receive, from the second apparatus, an authentication response according to the second security communication protocol, the authentication response comprising a second verifying information according to the second security communication protocol, wherein the second verifying information comprises a second value; and verify the second apparatus for the second security communication protocol using the second value and the cryptographic key.
