If a smart card is to be used for a particular purpose, and there is no certificate initialized on the smart card for this purpose, a computerized device enables a user to select one of the certificates already installed in the smart card for the particular purpose. The selected certificate may be imported into the computerized device.

A system and method is provided for managing multiple smart card sessions with multiple communications or computing devices in association with a single smart card reader. A wireless smart card reader is provided for communicating with a plurality of devices requiring smart card functionality in a number of smart card sessions, in which each smart card session is addressed with an identifier identifying a single device. The smart card session is secured by a wireless connection pairing and by a secure pairing, such that each connection between the smart card reader and a device is secured against all other devices in communication with the smart card reader using a master connection key, which is unique for each device.

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for implementation on a mobile device to force the mobile device into a secure state upon detection or determination of a triggering event. Once it is determined that a triggering event has occurred, each application operating on the mobile device is caused to immediately unreference sensitive objects and a secure garbage collection operation is performed upon the unreferenced sensitive objects to render data associated therewith unreadable. The mobile device is then caused to enter a secure state, in which the mobile device cannot be accessed without authorization. A microprocessor within the mobile device is configured to determine the existence of the triggering event according to a configuration data structure and to perform the secure garbage collection.
摘要:
A system and method for registering entities for code signing services. The entities may be software application developers or other individuals or entities that wish to have applications digitally signed. Signing of the applications may be required in order to enable the applications to access sensitive APIs and associated resources of a computing device when the applications are executed on the computing device. In one embodiment, a method of registering entities for code signing services will comprise the step of transmitting at least some account data to the registering individual or entity using an out-of-band communication system. This provides added security that the individual or entity registering for a code signing service is who that individual or entity purports to be.
摘要:
A system and method for providing code signing services to software application developers or to other individuals or entities that wish to have applications digitally signed. Signing of the applications may be required in order to enable the applications to access sensitive APIs and associated resources of a computing device when the applications are executed on the computing device. In one embodiment, a hash of an application is generated by a requestor of code signing services. The hash of the application, and not the application itself, may then be received in a code signing request to be digitally signed.
摘要:
A system and method for managing memory in a mobile device to prevent the swapping out of sensitive data to non-volatile storage from a volatile memory, to provide enhanced security for the sensitive data. In one broad aspect, there is provided a method of managing memory in a mobile device comprising the steps of identifying one or more data objects stored in a volatile memory on the mobile device to be swapped out to a non-volatile storage component, determining objects marked as containing sensitive data, and retaining so-marked objects in the volatile memory of the mobile 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.
