摘要:
A system and method for determining a security encoding to be applied to a message being sent by a user of a computing device, such as a mobile device, for example. In one broad aspect, the method comprises determining, at the computing device, whether a general message encoding configuration setting thereon indicates that the security encoding to be applied to the message is to be established by a policy engine; if the general message encoding configuration setting on the computing device indicates that the security encoding to be applied to the message is to be established by the policy engine, determining the security encoding to be applied to the message by querying the policy engine for the security encoding to be applied to the message; applying the determined security encoding to the message; and transmitting the message to which the security encoding has been applied to the at least one recipient. In one embodiment, the policy engine is a PGP Universal Server.

A method and system for providing e-mail messages to a receiving e-mail application. The e-mail messages as sent from a sending e-mail application being secure and in opaque signed format. The opaque signed e-mail messages being converted to clear signed e-mail messages by decoding extracting message content and digital signatures. The clear signed e-mails being sent to a receiving e-mail application.
摘要:
An apparatus and method of displaying a message on a display of a computing device. The message comprises at least a first attachment. At least a portion of the message is displayed to a user. The displayed portion comprises an identifier for the first attachment. In one embodiment, a security encoding indicator is associated with the identifier for the first attachment and displayed to the user. If a security encoding has been applied to the first attachment, the security encoding indicator indicates the security encoding applied to the first attachment.

Different target transmit powers are determined for different wireless transmissions from a wireless device, the different transmissions having different security requirements. For example, the security requirements of a particular transmission may include a security ranking of a device to which one or more frames carried by the particular transmission are addressed. In another example, the security requirements of a particular transmission may include the confidentiality of data carried by the particular transmission.
摘要:
A system and method for securely communicating with a destination server over a network in accordance with a protocol that, at least optionally, provides client authentication. The system comprises a client and an intermediate server that is adapted to establish a secure connection with the destination server on behalf of the client. When the destination server requires a digital signature that has been generated using a private key associated with the client in order to authenticate the client, the intermediate server provides the client with the data to be signed using the private key. If the client returns the requisite digital signature to the intermediate server, then the intermediate server will transmit the digital signature to the destination server.
摘要:
A method is provided for provisioning a device certificate on a device. The device is configured to communicate wirelessly with a plurality of backend servers via a communication network. The communication network includes a mobile data server. An activation request is initiated to the mobile data server for activating the device on the communication network. During activation, a device certificate request is provided to the mobile data server for the device. The device certificate request includes at least a user identifier, a device identifier and a device public key. The device certificate request is forwarded from the mobile data server to a predefined certification authority. A device certificate from the predefined certification authority is received at the device in response to the device certificate request.
摘要:
A system and method for dynamically and automatically updating the appropriate fields on the message application screen of an electronic message to show which of the appropriate service book, security encoding or security properties are acceptable or allowed for the message being composed. This updating occurs automatically based on the contents of the fields that are modified during composition of the message, such as, for example, modifications to classification of the message, recipients, keywords, or the like. Thus, the properties in place for a given message is reflected in a dynamic options list provided to the user based on the contents of various fields of the electronic message and the system policies resident on the system. The dynamic updating may provide an updated list of options to the user, or may optionally automatically apply minimum level settings based on security policy and contents of the message.
摘要:
A system and method are provided for pre-processing encrypted and/or signed messages at a host system before the message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device. The message is received at the host system from a message sender. There is determination as to whether any of the message receivers has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device. For each message receiver that has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device, the message is processed so as to modify the message with respect to encryption and/or authentication aspect. The processed message is transmitted to a corresponding wireless mobile communication device. The system and method may include post-processing messages sent from a wireless mobile communications device to a remote system. Authentication and/or encryption message processing is performed upon the message. The processed message may then be sent through the remote system to one or more receivers.
摘要:
A system and method for processing certificates located in a certificate search. Certificates located in a certificate search are processed at a data server (e.g. a mobile data server) coupled to a computing device (e.g. a mobile device) to determine status data that can be used to indicate the status of those certificates to a user of the computing device. Selected certificates may be downloaded to the computing device for storage, and the downloaded certificates are tracked by the data server. This facilitates the automatic updating of the status of one or more certificates stored on the computing device by the data server, in which updated status data is pushed from the data server to the computing device.
