The method involves performing authentication of a user (102), and assigning a telecommunication smart card (300) with an identifier to the user. A protected connection (172) is provided between an identity-token and an identity provider computer system (136), where the connection is produced by interaction of the smart card with a server computer system (306). The provider computer system is authenticated over the protected connection. A read access of the computer system for the token is provided based on successful authentication of the user and the computer system. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a mobile device with a smart card (2) a server-computer system with a processor (3) a computer program product with instructions for performing a method for reading an attribute stored in an identity-token.
