System and method for processing encoded messages for exchange with a mobile data communication device
First Claim
1. A method of processing an encoded message at a host system before the message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving at the host system the encoded message from a message sender addressed to a plurality of message receivers;
determining whether any of the message receivers has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device; and
for each message receiver that has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device;
processing the message so as to modify the message with respect to an encryption aspect; and
transmitting the processed message to a wireless mobile communication device that corresponds to the first message receiver.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for pre-processing encrypted and/or signed messages at a host system before the message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device. The message is received at the host system from a message sender. There is a determination as to whether any of the message receivers has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device. For each message receiver that has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device, the message is processed so as to modify the message with respect to one or more encryption and/or authentication aspects. The processed message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device that corresponds to the first message receiver. The system and method may include post-processing messages sent from a wireless mobile communications device to a host system. Authentication and/or encryption message processing is performed upon the message. The processed message may then be sent through the host system to one or more receivers.
