A system and method for user authentication utilizing PKI credentials and user credentials on an electronic device comprising a mobile communication device, smart phone, a computer or other computing device.

Method and system for user authentication for computing devices utilizing PKI and other user credentials

A mechanism and method for managing credentials on an electronic device configured with an iOS based operating system. The iOS based device includes a 'keychain' configured in device memory. According to an embodiment, the electronic device comprises an application configured to generate a public certificate object in the keychain and a password object in the keychain. The public certificate object is configured to store a public certificate, and the password object is configured to store a private key. The password object further includes a label or thumbprint for associating the private key with the corresponding public certificate. According to an embodiment, the application stores the private key in an encrypted container in the password object to provide an additional layer of security. The application is configured to unlock the encrypted container utilizing a password provided the user. According to a further aspect, the user password is not stored in memory on the device. According to an embodiment, the private key is generated and provided by a credential management system operatively coupled to the electronic device for digitally signing an email message.

Mechanism and method for managing credentials on IOS based operating system

A system and method for managing content for secure communications. The system includes an interface for receiving an encrypted message, a decryption module for decrypting the message into a clear text or other readable form and a key recovery module. The key recovery module recovers a key for the user associated with the encrypted message. The decryption module decrypts the message using the recovered key. The decrypted or clear text message is then routed or transferred for further processing or handling. The further processing includes policy enforcement, virus scanning, spam filtering and/or archiving.
