SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURING DATA FOR REDIRECTING AND TRANSPORTING OVER A WIRELESS NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method for redirecting electronic messages for transporting over a wireless network to a wireless device, wherein when it is determined that an electronic message that is protected with a first encryption algorithm is to be transported over a wireless network to a wireless device, the method comprises:
- converting the electronic message to a data structure that is recognizable by the wireless device;
encrypting the data structure with a second encryption algorithm using a random session key, the second encryption algorithm having a stronger security than the first encryption algorithm;
encrypting the random session key with a public key; and
transmitting packets that comprise the encrypted data structure and the encrypted random session key to the wireless device over the wireless network.

Abstract
A system and method for securing data for redirecting and transporting over a wireless network are generally described herein. In accordance with some embodiments, when it is determined that an electronic message that is protected with a first encryption algorithm is to be transported over a wireless network to a wireless device, the electronic message is converted to a data structure that is recognizable by the wireless device and the data structure is encrypted with a second encryption algorithm using a random session key. The second encryption algorithm has a stronger security than the first encryption algorithm. The random session key is encrypted with a public key and packets that comprise the encrypted data structure and the encrypted random session key are transmitted to the wireless device over the wireless network.
