A method, system and computer readable medium for protecting a
communications device connected to a communications system against an
unauthorized intrusion, including providing a variable identifier to the
communications device and entities authorized access thereto. The
variable identifier is provided to a user address book and assigned with
a permanent identifier and the permanent identifier, but not the variable
identifier, is available to a user. The presence or absence of the
correct variable identifier is sensed during an attempt to access the
communications device for granting or denying access to the
communications device. A new variable identifier is periodically provided

user address book and assigned with the permanent identifier, wherein the
permanent identifier, but not the new variable identifier, is available
to the user.
