SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING DATA ON A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

Methods and systems are disclosed for protecting data on a mobile device (100). A data protection module (140) on the mobile device (100) receives a transmission including a secret key. The secret key is used in encrypting data on the device and is then deleted. Subsequent to an event detectable to the mobile device (100), the data protection module (140) receives another transmission including said secret key. The secret key is then used to decrypt the encrypted data.
