A method for authenticating communicating parties is disclosed. In the method biometric information associated with a first party is generated based on a recording of the first party presenting a predefined input parameter. Said biometric information may then be transmitted to a second party. Authenticity of a security parameter associated with the first party can then be verified based on said biometric information.

An approach is provided for refreshing keys in a communication system. An application request is transmitted to a network element configured to provide secure services. A message is received, in response to the application request, indicating refreshment of a key that is used to provide secure communications with the network element. A refreshed key is derived based on the received message.
