| 20090221267 | NOTIFICATION OF ACCESS CONTROL REQUEST AND EXPLANATION INDICATIVE OF THE ACCESS CONTROL REQUEST ON A COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A communication device includes a display screen upon which information is displayed. A microprocessor configured to execute at least one notification program is provided that displays a notification descriptive of an access control request on the display screen. The at least one notification program is programmed to receive data indicative of an access control request and to receive data descriptive of the access control request. Additionally, the at least one notification program is further programmed to display a notification indicative of the access control request and comprising an explanation of the access control request based on the received descriptive data. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090222657 | Methods And Apparatus For Use In Obtaining A Digital Certificate For A Mobile Communication Device - In one illustrative scenario, a mobile device receives configuration information which includes information for use in constructing a request message for obtaining a digital certificate from a certificate authority (CA). After receipt of the configuration information, the mobile device constructs the request message for the digital certificate and causes it to be sent to a host server of a communication network. In response, the host server requests and obtains the digital certificate from the CA on behalf of the mobile device, and thereafter “pushes” the received digital certificate to the mobile device. The mobile device receives the digital certificate and stores it for use in subsequent communications. The host server may be part of a local area network (LAN) which includes a wireless LAN (WLAN) adapted to authenticate the mobile device based on the digital certificate, so that the mobile device may obtain access to the WLAN. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090222902 | Methods And Apparatus For Use In Enabling A Mobile Communication Device With A Digital Certificate - In one illustrative scenario, a mobile communication device causes a communication session to be established with a host server of a communication network. The mobile device performs communication operations in the communication session for activating a communication service, such as a data synchronization service, with the host server. In the communication session, the mobile device also receives configuration information which includes information for use in constructing a request message for obtaining a digital certificate from a certificate authority (CA). After receipt of the configuration information, the mobile device constructs the request message for the digital certificate and causes it to be sent to the host server. In response, the host server requests and obtains the digital certificate from the CA on behalf of the mobile device, and thereafter “pushes” the received digital certificate to the mobile device. The mobile device receives the digital certificate and stores it for use in subsequent communications. The host server may be part of a local area network (LAN) which includes a wireless LAN (WLAN) adapted to authenticate the mobile device based on the digital certificate, so that the mobile device may obtain access to the WLAN. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090313705 | SECURITY MEASURES FOR COUNTERING UNAUTHORIZED DECRYPTION - After a predetermined limit for decryption attempts has been exceeded by a user attempting to decrypt an encrypted electronic message or attempting to decrypt a encrypted electronic certificate associated with an electronic message, access to the electronic message may be restricted. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100050187 | Methods And Apparatus For Maintaining Permissions For Client/Server Processing In A Communication Device - A communication device has memory for storing a client application module, a server application module, and an operating system module which are executable by one or more processors. The client application module submits a request and, in response, the server application module causes the request to be processed with use of the operating system module. Prior to processing, an interface module causes one or more client process handles of a client stack of the client application module to be provided in a current process base of the operating system module. Thus, for the request, the operating system module checks one or more permission settings associated with the one or more client process handles as well as one or more permission settings associated with the one or more server process handles. The operating system module allows the request to be processed if the one or more permission settings associated with the one or more client process handles and the one or more permission settings associated with the one or more server process handles indicate that permission is granted, but otherwise denies the processing of the request if any one of the permission settings associated with the one or more client process handles and the one or more server process handles indicate that permission is denied. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110085527 | CALL DESTINATION NUMBER MAPPING METHODS, DEVICES AND SYSTEMS - A call destination mapping method executes on a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device requests a call action within the device for a first call destination number of a call destination, maps the first call destination number to a second call destination number in accordance with one or more call destination mapping rules stored on the device, and replaces the first call destination number in the call action with the second call destination number. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110154041 | METHOD TO SECURELY TRANSFER USER ENCRYPTION KEYS AND SERVICES BETWEEN MOBILE DEVICES - A method for securely transferring a service from a first mobile device to a second mobile device, the service being associated with a server configured for facilitating provisioning of services to mobile devices over a wireless communications network. The method includes generating in the first mobile device a shared key, the shared key being generated using a master key unique to the server and to the first mobile device, the master key being accessible by the server and by the first mobile device; and sending said shared key from the first mobile device to the second mobile device using an alternate communication mechanism independent from the server. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110214184 | System and method for controlling applications to mitigate the effects of malicious software - Methods and systems for mitigating the effects of a malicious software application are disclosed. A dedicated module on the computing device receives from a malicious software detector a message indicating whether the application is malicious or has a malicious component. The dedicated module obtains a set of permissions to be granted to the application, and instructs software on the computing device that controls the permissions of the application to grant the set of permissions. | 09-01-2011 |
