摘要:
A method of supporting a portable authenticator for an electronic device comprising: storing on the electronic device password information for the electronic device and the portable authenticator; detecting an attempt to access the electronic device; prompting a user to enter a password responsive to the step of detecting; determining whether the password information for the electronic device matches the password information for the portable authenticator; and where the password information for the electronic device matches the password information for the portable authenticator: echoing the entered password in an electronic device password entry field and a portable authenticator password entry field on a display screen on the electronic device; checking the entered password against the password information for the electronic device to determine whether an electronic device password has been entered correctly; and transferring the entered password to the portable authenticator for password checking by the portable authenticator.

An active new password entry dialog provides a compact visual indication of adherence to password policies. A visual indication of progress towards meeting all applicable password policies is included in the display and updated as new password characters are being entered. A visual hint associated with at least one applicable password policy that has not yet been satisfied is also included in the display. An ability to obtain more detailed comprehensive password policy information is also permitted upon user command (e.g., including an indication whether each password policy has yet been met or unmet). Preferably the displayed hint and associated applicable password policy not yet satisfied is randomly changed during entry of a new password (e.g., upon the entry of each new password character).
摘要:
A system and method for retrieving certificates and/or verifying the revocation status of certificates. In one embodiment, when a user opens a digitally signed message, a certificate that is required to verify the digital signature on the message may be automatically retrieved if it is not stored on the user's computing device (e.g. a mobile device), eliminating the need for users to initiate the task manually. Verification of the digital signature may also be automatically performed by the application after the certificate is retrieved. Verification of the revocation status of a certificate may also be automatically performed if it is determined that the time that has elapsed since the status was last updated exceeds a pre-specified limit.
摘要:
A system and method for searching and retrieving certificates, which may be used in the processing of encoded messages. In one broad aspect, a method is provided in which a certificate search request is received, a search of one or more certificate servers for certificates satisfying the request is performed, located certificates are retrieved and processed at a first computing device to determine data that uniquely identifies each located certificate, and search result data comprising the determined data is communicated to a second device (e.g. a mobile device) for use in determining whether each located certificate is already stored on the second device.

Methods and systems for handling attachments on wireless mobile communication devices. An attachment provided with a secure message is received at a message server. The secure message itself was received by the server as an attachment. The secure message is processed in order to locate within the secure message the requested attachment. The located attachment is provided to a mobile device.
