A method and system for external message address detection and warning is disclosed. A messaging application permits a message sender to create a message composition intended to be sent to at least one message address. The message address includes a first portion identifying the message address as belonging to a group of addresses and a second portion identifying the message address as belonging to a specific address within the group. A determination is made if the first portion of the message address identifies the message address as belonging to a predetermined group or groups of addresses; if the first portion does not identify the message address as belonging to the predetermined group or groups of addresses, a warning is provide to the user of the device.

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.
摘要:
A system and method for searching and retrieving certificates, which may be used in the processing of encoded messages. In one embodiment, a certificate synchronization application is programmed to perform certificate searches by querying one or more certificate servers using contact information stored on a computing device, from an address book for example. The invention allows certificates for contacts to be automatically searched for and retrieved from certificate servers, so that users need not manually search for certificates associated with each individual contact for which information is stored in a contact information source.
