A communication device and corresponding methods are provided. The 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.

Notification of access control request and explanation indicative of the access control request on a communication device

Systems and methods for managing data transfers between a secure location and a less secure location. A data transfer checker operating on a mobile device determines whether an attempted data transfer between two locations is permitted. If it is not permitted, then the data transfer is prevented and the user may be notified of the data transfer prevention.

System and method for handling data transfers

A method at a communication device, comprising: receiving an access control request from an executing program on the communication device; displaying a notification on a display screen of the communication device, in response to receiving the access control request, wherein the notification comprises at least three selectable items and one explanation that describe a proposed setting change related to the access control request; and the at least three selectable items comprise: a first selectable item, used to grant the proposed setting change in response to a selection of the first selectable item; a second selectable item, used to deny the proposed setting change in response to a selection of the second selectable item; and a third selectable item, used to display one further explanation in response to a selection of the third selectable item.

Systems and methods for establishing a data connection between a mobile device and a peripheral. The mobile device is configured to determine whether to handle user approval of the data connection between the mobile device and the peripheral. Through the mobile device, an input mechanism is provided for the user to provide input. The input is used in determining whether to approve the data connection between the mobile device and the peripheral.

System and method for handling peripheral connections to mobile devices

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.

Systems and methods of owner application control of an electronic device are provided. Owner application control information is stored on the electronic device and/or one or more remote servers. Owner application control information is consulted to determine if one or more required applications are available for execution on the electronic device. If not, one or more required applications not available are downloaded and installed. This could be in a manner transparent to the user of the electronic device. If one or more required applications are not available on the electronic device, the device can be functionally disabled in whole, or in part, until one or more required applications are available.

System and method of owner application control of electronic devices

A system and method of storing in a computer device digital certificate data from a digital certificate are provided. When a digital certificate is received at the computer device, it is determined whether the digital certificate data in the digital certificate is stored in a first memory store in the computer device. The digital certificate data is stored in the first memory store upon determining that the digital certificate data is not stored in the first memory store.

Certificate information storage system and method

Systems and methods for providing additional security for data being transmitted across a wireless connection that has been established using a known wireless protocol (e.g. Bluetooth) are described. An encryption key is exchanged between a computing device (e.g. a mobile device) and a wireless peripheral device (e.g. a keyboard, a printer). In some embodiments, the encryption key is generated at one of the two devices. Data associated with the encryption key is output at the one device, which can be input by the user at the other device. The encryption key is then recovered at the other device from the input, thereby completing the key exchange. The encryption key can then be used to encrypt and decrypt data transmitted over the established wireless connection, providing additional security.

System and method for exchanging encryption keys between a mobile device and a peripheral device

A system and method implemented at a server system, for securely wiping a remote mobile device after the device registration has been removed from the server system. Prior to removal of the device registration from the server system, a 'pre-packaged' command is created and stored at the server system. In the event that it is determined, after removal of the registration, that the device should be wiped or disabled, means are provided for an administrator to issue the previously stored command to the target mobile device.

Security command for remote execution at target device

A method and system are provided for processing encrypted messages at a mobile device. A mobile device receives an encrypted message that comprises encrypted content as well as encryption information for accessing the encrypted content. At the mobile device, the encryption accessing information is obtained and stored to memory. The encryption accessing information is retrieved from memory in order to decrypt the encrypted content when the encrypted message is subsequently accessed.
