摘要:
Through the use of a one-time-use nonce, the transfer of cryptographic data over a potentially insecure link in a two-factor content protection system is avoided. The nonce may be stored encrypted with a public key from a smart card. A random key may be used to produce a storage key, which is used to encrypt a content protection key. The random key may be stored, encrypted with a key derived from the nonce. Instead of receiving a raw content protection key over the potentially insecure link, the raw nonce is received and, once used, replaced with a new nonce.

Rather than storing all data in the same manner, e.g., an encrypted manner, a security level with which to associate received data of a given type may be determined. Subsequently, distinct types of data may be stored in a distinct manner, with the manner of storage having a security level appropriate to the type of data. For example, a first type of data may be stored in an encrypted manner (i.e., with a high level of security), while a second level of data may be stored in a plain text manner (i.e., with a low level of security).

A communication system can provide one or more mechanisms for controlling data transfer on a mobile device. A technique based on such a mechanism includes receiving a request to transfer data to an application, accessing a first service identifier associated with the data, accessing a second service identifier associated with a service mode of the application, and determining whether to allow a transfer of the data to the application based on the first service identifier and the second service identifier.

Methods and devices for obtaining authorization for a requestor to access a service are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising receiving a requestor request for access to a service; sending an authorization request to one or more mobile devices associated with one or more authorizers on a first approval list; receiving an authorization response from the one or more mobile devices associated with the one or more authorizers on the first approval list; determining whether a predetermined level of authorization is received; and when the predetermined level of authorization is received, authorizing access to the service.

A method and apparatus for securing a computing device are provided. A state of the computing device is determined, the state associated with a protection state. The computing device is automatically switching between a plurality of security levels at based on the state.
摘要:
A method and system for securing data of a mobile communications device. The method includes: determining that first application data is data associated with a first server; encrypting the first application data with an encryption key stored in the mobile communications device; storing the encrypted first application data on a memory; receiving a request to access the first application data from an application or a service implemented from the mobile communications device; determining that the application or service is authorized to access the first application data; and in response to said determining, decrypting the first application data with the encryption key.
摘要:
Rather than managing a certificate chain related to a newly issued identity certificate at a terminal to which a wireless device occasionally connects, a certificate server can act to determine the identity certificates in a certificate chain related to the newly issued identity certificate. The certificate server can also act to obtain the identity certificates and transmit the identity certificates towards the device that requested the newly issued identity certificate. A mail server may receive the newly issued identity certificate and the identity certificates in the certificate chain and manage the timing of the transmittal of the identity certificates. By transmitting the identity certificates in the certificate chain before transmitting the newly issued identity certificate, the mail server allows the user device to verify the authenticity of the newly issued identity certificate.
摘要:
A computing device and a method for a computing device to control access to data stored on a data store of the device. An access component of the device having control over access to the data. The access component being operative to receive a request for data from a requesting component, identify an assigned access domain of the requesting component and an assigned data domain of the requested data and determine whether the requesting component is authorized to access the data by comparing the assigned access domain and the data domain with permissions specified in a security policy. If the assigned access domain is authorized to access the data domain, the access component may provide access to the requested data.
摘要:
An apparatus, and an associated method, facilitates security at a wireless device, such as a wireless device comprising a mobile computing platform. A security decision engine is provided that monitors for an event necessitating a security decision. When a security decision is required, request is made of a knowledge fetcher, provided by a trusted third-party, installed at the wireless device for the security decision. The knowledge fetcher obtains the security decision, such as by obtaining the security decision from a remote, trusted third-party server, and provides the security decision to the decision engine. Use is made of the security decision pursuant to a setting for which the security decision is needed.
