SYNCHRONIZING CERTIFICATES BETWEEN A DEVICE AND SERVER
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing information between a server and a mobile device, the method comprising the mobile device:
- receiving from said server a message and a notification of action taken by said server, said notification being an indication whether said server determined that a certificate appended to said message was contained on said device based upon a list maintained by said server;
said mobile device evaluating said notification to determine whether said action taken by said server was correct; and
,when said mobile device determines that said action taken was correct, said mobile device sending an acknowledgement to said server that said action taken was correct, and when said mobile device determines that said action taken was incorrect, said mobile device sending a notification to said server that said action taken was incorrect for said server to take remedial steps to correct said list.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing messages within a wireless communications system are disclosed. A server within the wireless communications system maintains a list of certificates contained in devices that use the server. The server synchronizes or updates the list of certificates based on information contained in message to and from the device. By providing a server with certificates associated with devices that use the server, and providing a system and method for synchronizing the certificates between the device and server, the server can implement powerful features that will improve the efficiency, speed and user satisfaction of the devices. The exemplary embodiments also enable advantageous bandwidth savings by preventing transmission of certificates unnecessarily
