  • Publication number: 20130311779
    Abstract: A certificate enrolment assistant module may be provided to inject a challenge password into a certificate signing request to be sent, to a Certificate Authority, from a computing device. The certificate enrolment assistant module, thereby, acts as a trusted proxy to assist the computing device in building a valid certificate signing request without the computing device having access to the challenge password.

  • Publication number: 20130054704
    Abstract: According to embodiments described in the specification, an electronic communication device and method for processing messages are provided. The method comprises receiving message data at a processor of the computing device, the message data comprising one or more of an address, a subject and a body; receiving a state indicator at the processor, the state indicator being an indication of a state of the message data; storing the message data and the state indicator in a memory of the computing device, the state indicator being stored in association with the message data; determining, at the processor of the computing device, if the state indicator indicates that the message data is in a draft state; and when the determination is affirmative, preventing transmission of the message data.

  • Publication number: 20120317609
    Abstract: Methods and devices for controlling access to a computing resource by applications executable on a computing device are described herein. In one example embodiment, method comprises: identifying an application category with which one or more applications executable on the computing device is associated; providing one or more rules that specify whether the one or more applications associated with the application category are permitted to access the computing resource on the computing device; and transmitting the security policy to the computing device; wherein when the security policy is enforced at the computing device, access to the computing resource by the one or more applications executable on the computing device that are associated with the application category is controlled by the one or more rules.

  • Patent number: 6615997
    Abstract: A symmetric wedgelock system includes a compression device having a longitudinal axis; a plurality of segments arranged along the compression device including at least one drive segment at each end and at least one working segment in between each working segment including at least two sections having diverging sides forming a concave wedge facing an associated drive segment; each drive segment having converging sides forming a convex wedge facing an associated working segment; the compression device includes an adjustment device for applying a compressive force along the longitudinal axis to drive the convex wedges of the drive segment into the concave wedges of the working segment to drive apart laterally the sections of the working segment.
