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, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving at the host system the encoded message from a message sender, wherein the encoded message is addressed to a plurality of message receivers and has one or more encryption aspects;
determining at the host system 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 at the host system the encoded message so as to remove at least one encryption aspect of the encoded message;
wherein the at least one removed encryption aspect comprises an encryption-related key;
wherein the encryption-related key comprises a session key;
wherein the step of processing comprises the step of removing the session key that is unrelated to the wireless mobile communication device to which the processed encoded message is to be transmitted; and
transmitting by the host system the processed encoded message to the corresponding wireless mobile communication device.

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.

10. A host system that includes software instructions encoded on a computer-readable medium or mediums for processing an encoded message, the host system comprising:
-
software instructions that operate on a processor and that receive the encoded message from a message sender, wherein the encoded message is addressed to a plurality of message receivers and has one or more encryption aspects; software instructions that operate on the processor and that determine whether any of the message receivers has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device; and software instructions that operate on the processor and that, for each message receiver that has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device, process the encoded message so as to remove at least one encryption aspect of the encoded message and transmit the processed encoded message to the corresponding wireless mobile communication device; wherein the at least one removed encryption aspect comprises an encryption-related key; wherein the encryption-related key comprises a session key; wherein the encoded message is processed so as to remove the session key that is unrelated to the wireless mobile communication device to which the processed encoded message is to be transmitted.

11. Computer-readable storage medium or mediums encoded with instructions that cause a processor to perform a method for processing an encoded message at a host system, said method comprising:
-
receiving at the host system the encoded message from a message sender, wherein the encoded message is addressed to a plurality of message receivers and has one or more encryption aspects; determining at the host system 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 at the host system the encoded message so as to remove at least one encryption aspect of the encoded message; wherein the at least one removed encryption aspect comprises an encryption-related key; wherein the encryption-related key comprises a session key; wherein the step of processing comprises the step of removing the session key that is unrelated to the wireless mobile communication device to which the processed encoded message is to be transmitted; and transmitting by the host system the processed encoded message to the corresponding wireless mobile communication device.
