Abstract:
A public safety (PS) person having a PS communications device is able to authenticate and authorize operation of a non-PS, personal communications device over a PS network. The PS device issues a challenge, and the personal device responds to the challenge, when the devices are in close proximity. A conditional token having specified conditions is sent to the personal device, which captures information at an incident scene. The personal device attaches the conditional token to the captured information, and uploads the captured information with the attached token to the PS device to permit distribution of the captured information in accordance with the specified conditions of the attached conditional token.
