System and method for pushing encrypted information between a host system and a mobile data communication device
First Claim
1. A method for redirecting messages between an Internet Service Provider (ISP) host system and a plurality of mobile devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- configuring redirection settings for one or more mobile device users at the ISP host system;
receiving incoming messages directed to a first address at the ISP host system from a plurality of message senders;
in response to the redirection settings, continuously encrypting and redirecting the incoming messages from the ISP host system to the mobile device via a redirector host system;
receiving encrypted outgoing messages generated and encrypted at the mobile communications device at the redirector host system;
decrypting the received encrypted outgoing messages to recover the outgoing messages;
configuring address information of the outgoing messages so that the first address is used as an originating address of the outgoing messages; and
, transmitting the configured outgoing messages to message recipients.

Abstract
A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event-generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to encrypt and repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.

2. In a system for redirecting data items between a host system and a mobile communications device through a redirector system, a method of key distribution comprising the steps of:
-
generating an encryption key for encrypting data items to be redirected to the mobile device;
generating a decryption key for decrypting encrypted and redirected data items received at the mobile device; and
forwarding the decryption key to the mobile device using a secure communications link. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
