Abstract: A system and method for controlling access to a secure resource in a device are disclosed. In some embodiments, the device may include a processor capable of receiving a first request from a first application of a plurality of applications executable by the processor, where the first request requests access to the secure resource, and the first request identifies the plurality of applications. In response to the first request, the processor is capable of generating a ticket associated with the secure resource and with each of the plurality of applications, and then storing the ticket in a memory. After receiving a second request from a second application requesting access to the secure resource, the processor is capable of granting the second application access to the secure resource, if the ticket associated with the secure resource exists and if the ticket is associated with the second application.

Abstract: A reader element is associated with an identity verification element. The reader element has a biometric input device and is configured, through enrollment of a biometric element is used to encrypt a character sequence associated with the identity verification element. In a verification phase subsequent to the enrollment, a user may be spared a step of providing the character sequence by, instead, providing the biometric element. Responsive to receiving the biometric element, the reader element may decrypt the character sequence and provide the character sequence to the identity verification element.

Abstract: 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 a 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 one or more encryption and/or authentication aspects. The processed message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device that corresponds to the first message receiver. The system and method may include post-processing messages sent from a wireless mobile communications device to a host system. Authentication and/or encryption message processing is performed upon the message. The processed message may then be sent through the host system to one or more receivers.

Abstract: Methods and systems for removing sensitive information from a digital image. An instruction to share a digital image is received. It is then determined that the digital image contains a depiction of a corporate display medium that is classified as sensitive based on a policy and, based on the determination that the digital image contains the depiction of the corporate display medium that is classified as sensitive based on the policy, the digital image is processed to modify the depiction. The digital image is shared.
