1. A method for processing encoded messages comprising:
- receiving, at a server, an encoded message sent from an e-mail sender and addressed to a recipient device;
processing said encoded message to verify a signature of the encoded message at said server and processing said encoded message such that the processed message is below a predetermined threshold size;
providing an indication of a result of the processing and the processed message to the recipient device; and
,providing supplemental security information of the encoded message to the recipient device for use by the recipient device in performing additional checks.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing encoded messages within a wireless communications system are disclosed. A server within the wireless communications system performs signature verification of an encoded message and provides, together with the message, an indication to the mobile device that the message has been verified. In addition, the server provides supplemental information, such as, for example, a hash of the certificate or certificate chain used to verify the message, to the device, to enable the device to perform additional checks on the certificate, such as, for example, validity checks, trust checks, strength checks, or the like.
