METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ISOLATING SECURE COMMUNICATION EVENTS FROM A NON-SECURE APPLICATION

摘要

A system and method for isolating secure communication events from a non-secure application are described herein. The method can include the steps of intercepting a communication event from an external communications network or an external communications device and determining whether the communication event is a secure communication event. If the communication event is a secure communication event, the secure communication event can be processed by a secure application. In addition, the secure communication event can be prevented from being processed by the non-secure application.

1. A method for isolating secure communication events, comprising:
on a computing device that includes personal applications and at least one enterprise application, wherein one of the enterprise applications is an enterprise contacts application that lists one or more enterprise contacts that are associated with protected contact identification information and wherein the enterprise contacts application is part of an enterprise information manager that also includes an enterprise email application and an enterprise calendar, detecting a communication event from an external communications network or an external communications device; determining whether the communication event is a secure communication event; if the communication event is a secure communication event, processing the secure communication event by one of the enterprise applications; and preventing the secure communication event from being processed by one of the personal applications such that at least some portion of the secure communication event that would normally be processed by that personal application is prevented from undergoing such processing.
