摘要:
A system and method for processing certificates located in a certificate search. Certificates located in a certificate search are processed at a data server (e.g. a mobile data server) coupled to a computing device (e.g. a mobile device) to determine status data that can be used to indicate the status of those certificates to a user of the computing device, without having to download those certificates to the computing device in their entirety. The data server is further adapted to transmit the status data to the computing device. In one embodiment, at least one status property of the certificates is verified at the data server in determining the status data. In another embodiment, additional certificate data is determined and transmitted to the computing device, which can be used by the computing device to verify, at the computing device, at least one other status property of the certificates.

Systems and methods for handling restoration operations for a mobile device. A mobile device receives a kill pill command, wherein the command causes some or all data on the mobile device to be wiped. An indicator is stored to indicate that the kill pill command was sent to the mobile device. The indicator is used to determine whether a program should be wiped from the mobile device.

In accordance with the teachings described herein, systems and methods are provided for securing data for transmission to a wireless device. The disclosed systems and methods may include an electronic messaging system used to send and receive data over a first network and also used to forward data to a wireless device operable in a second network. The electronic messaging system may receive an electronic message encrypted with a first encryption algorithm and addressed to a message recipient in the first network, the message recipient having an associated wireless device operable in the second network. The electronic messaging system may determine that the electronic message is to be transported across the second network to the wireless device, and in response to determining that the electronic message is to be transported across the second network, encrypt the electronic message using a second encryption algorithm and transmit the encrypted message over the second network to the wireless device, with the second encryption algorithm being a stronger encryption algorithm than the first encryption algorithm.
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.
摘要:
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.

Systems and methods for secure e-mail message processing. A device is configured to receive a secure electronic message. The message may then be processed to determine whether the sender's address provided in the message is indicative of the sender's address provided in a sender's security-related certificate. A message's recipient can be notified based upon the determination.
摘要:
A system and method for retrieving certificates and/or verifying the revocation status of certificates. In one embodiment, when a user opens a digitally signed message, a certificate that is required to verify the digital signature on the message may be automatically retrieved if it is not stored on the user's computing device (e.g. a mobile device), eliminating the need for users to initiate the task manually. Verification of the digital signature may also be automatically performed by the application after the certificate is retrieved. Verification of the revocation status of a certificate may also be automatically performed if it is determined that the time that has elapsed since the status was last updated exceeds a pre-specified limit.

Preferred embodiments of the invention relate to a method and device for authenticating a user of a computer and a corresponding system using the method and device. The device is a handheld electronic device having accessible thereto a first authentication code of the user. The handheld electronic device requires a second authentication code for enabling use thereof. In order to authenticate the user to the computer, the handheld electronic device is configured to transmit the first authentication code to the computer over a communication link between the computer and the handheld electronic device.
