System and method for transmitting and utilizing attachments

摘要

A method of handling cryptographic information in a communication comprising body elements and attachment elements to a mobile device includes the steps of determining if the communication includes an attachment element comprising cryptographic information and converting the attachment element into a body element upon determining that the communication includes an attachment element comprising cryptographic information.

1. A system for converting attachment information into an inline form in a communication to a mobile device, the system comprising:
a memory subsystem configured to store data; a processor coupled to the memory subsystem and configured to read data from the memory subsystem; and an inline generator software module stored in the memory subsystem and executable by the processor, the inline generator software module being operable to access an extractor data structure comprising one or more conversion conditions associated with one or more attachment element types, each of the conversion conditions defining a conversion criterion for an associated attachment element type, the inline generator software module also being operable to convert the attachment information into a body element of the communication upon the occurrence of an associated conversion condition associated with an attachment element type of an attachment element comprising the attachment information, the inline generator software module being adapted to: determine if the communication comprises cryptographic information; upon determining that the communication comprises cryptographic information, access the extractor data structure to determine if an associated conversion condition has been met; and upon determining that an associated conversion condition has been met, change a content disposition of the communication from an attachment type to an inline type to create an inline cryptographic entity.
