Abstract: A device and method are provided for a device that authenticates a server over a network. The device and method are operable to contact the server to initiate a handshaking operation. The device receives certificate information and handshaking information from the server. The device completes the handshaking operations to establish the connection with the server. The device downloads the content from the server through the connection before authenticating the server to establish a secure connection. In some aspects, the device may display a portion of the downloaded content before the server is authenticated.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A system, devices and methods for verifying an administrator computing device to a guest computing device, verifying the guest device to the administrator device and outputting a list of the guest device capabilities for the administrator device such that the guest device is capable of verifying the administrator device, for example to ensure it does not divulge its capabilities to imposters, and the administrator device is capable of identifying whether the list of device capabilities is authentic. Verification can be achieved through cryptographic hashes of private certificates, digital signatures or expected output from verified modules. The list of device capabilities may be restricted based on the authorization granted to the administrator computer and may be altered or watermarked for verification. A failure to verify the administrator device may restrict execution of instructions on the guest device to prevent unauthorized access to the guest device's capabilities.

Abstract: A system, method and apparatus for enabling temporary policies in a mobile computing device are provided. Data representative of the temporary policies is received, the data comprising a time period for applying the temporary policies. Settings of the mobile computing device are automatically changing from original settings to temporary settings, the temporary settings based on the data. When the time period has expired, the settings are changed back to the original settings.
