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： A system and method for generating a security indicator on a display of a computing device (e.g. a mobile device), to indicate when the computing device is in a secure state while locked. A determination is made (e.g. by a data protection system) as to whether at least some of the secure data stored on the computing device can be decrypted by any applications on the computing device, while the computing device is in the locked state. An icon or other identifier can be displayed to indicate that the secure state has been attained. In one embodiment, the secure state is considered to have been attained, if it is determined that all tickets that have been issued to applications on the computing device while the computing device was unlocked have been released, and any decrypted encryption keys that may be used to decrypt the secure data have been deleted.

摘要： A portable wireless user communication device is wirelessly coupled to a second device over a monitored link. If the link is lost or endangered, then a user alarm is activated at the portable wireless user device and/or at the second device to which it is linked (which may also be a portable electronic device). The type of monitoring and/or the type of alarming may be user selectable.

摘要： A system and method for automatic key and certificate management is disclosed. In particular, a key store in a base computer contains both new and previously viewed cryptographic keys. When a mobile communications device is to be updated with the new keys, the new keys are automatically identified by comparing the keys stored in the base computer with a list of previously viewed keys to determine which new keys are to be marked for download. Upon marking the new keys, the user may be prompted to download the newly identified keys, or they may be downloaded automatically. Once the new keys have been marked, the list of previously viewed keys is updated to include those marked, so that the next time updating occurs, the previously viewed key list will be correct.

摘要： A method and apparatus are provided for a user of a mobile wireless communications device to have the option of viewing security status messages in a large or small format depending upon the user's preferences, form factor of the mobile communications device, or the like. In accordance with an exemplary aspect of the invention, a user may opt to display status icons on one row of a display and include an abbreviated text associated with each icon that is displayed when a particular icon is highlighted by the user. If no icon is highlighted by the user, the most important status text (determined based on predetermined criteria) is displayed. The user has the option of switching to a large status display to view additional information relating to the status icons.

摘要： Systems and methods for displaying messages to a user, the messages having different levels of security, are provided herein. One method of displaying to a user messages having different levels of security includes receiving a message over a network includes examining an attribute of the message to determine a security-related level associated with the message. A visual indication for display to a device user is generated by the device. Such visual indication is indicative of the determined security-related level, and is configured to be visible during scrolling through a majority of the message text.
