摘要： A system comprises a wireless-enabled device that communicates with a wireless-enabled smart card reader to obtain information from or perform operations using a smart card. Commands to access information from a smart card may be sent from the device to the smart card reader, and responses from the smart card may be sent from the smart card reader back to the second device. Communication between the device and the smart card reader via a wireless communication link is slower than communication via a direct link. Communication of two or more commands and/or responses via the wireless communication link may be made more efficient by grouping the commands or responses together in groups.

摘要： A method is presented to allow pairing of a first wireless-enabled device to a second wireless-enabled device while the first device is locked. A pairing interface is provided on the locked first device to obtain pairing information about the second device. The pairing information is used to pair the first device to the second device and to establish wireless communications therebetween without first requiring that the first device be unlocked.

摘要： A system and method for protecting master transport encryption keys stored on a computing device. Master transport encryption keys are used to secure data communications between computing devices. In one example embodiment, there is provided a method in which a copy of a master transport encryption key is generated and stored in a volatile store of a first computing device (e.g. a mobile device). This copy of the master transport encryption key can be used to facilitate the decryption of data received at the first computing device from a second computing device (e.g. a data server), even while the first computing device is locked. The method also comprises encrypting the master transport encryption key, with a content protection key for example, and storing the encrypted master transport encryption key in a non-volatile store of the first computing device.

摘要： A system and method for providing an indication of randomness quality of random number data generated by a random data service. The random data service may provide random number data to one or more applications adapted to generate key pairs used in code signing applications, for example. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of: retrieving random number data from the random data service; applying one or more randomness tests to the retrieved random number data to compute at least one indicator of the randomness quality of the random number data; associating the at least one indicator with at least one state represented by a color; and displaying the color associated with the at least one indicator to a user. The color may be displayed in a traffic light icon, for example.

摘要： A wireless device may alert a wireless smart card reader that communication of data between the wireless device and the wireless smart card reader is probably imminent by sending an activation alert. Upon receipt of the activation alert, if the wireless smart card reader is in a low-power state, the wireless smart card reader may enter a higher-power state. If the wireless smart card reader is in the higher-power state upon receipt of the activation alert, the wireless smart card reader may remain in the higher-power state until a timeout period has expired. The wireless device may instruct the wireless smart card reader to enter the low-power state by sending a deactivation alert if the wireless device identifies that communication of data between the wireless device and the wireless smart card reader is not likely to occur within a specified period of time.

摘要： A system and method for providing secure message signature status and trust status indications are disclosed. When a secure message having a digital signature generated by a sender is selected for processing on a messaging client, the digital signature on the message and trust status of the sender are checked. Separate indications are then provided to indicate the results of checking the digital signature and the trust status of the sender.

摘要： 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 the creation and automated selection and inclusion an automated signature text with an electronic message, wherein the automated selection of the automated signature text is dependent on attributes of the message, the designated recipients, or attributes of the designated recipients as compared to the sender's attributes, such as the encoding type and/or transport method selected for the electronic message or the location of the recipient without the need for multiple user profiles or manual editing by the sender. At least one of a plurality of automated signature texts is associated with at least one encoding type of a plurality of encoding types, at least one message transport type, or with at least one predeterined recipient attribute or the outcome of a comparison of the recipient attribute with the sender's attributes. The appropriate automated signature text is inserted prior to encoding of the message for transport.
