SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHY KEY MANAGEMENT FOR MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

A technique that binds encryption and decryption keys using a UID, a UDID, and a Pswd to a client mobile device in an enterprise. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by creating a new user account using the UID and the DPswd in an inactive state and communicating the UID and the DPswd to an intended user using a secure communication medium by an administrator. The intended user then logs into a cryptography key management system using the UID and the DPswd via a client mobile device. The UDID associated with the client mobile device is then hashed to create a H(UDID). The H(UDID) is then sent to the cryptography key management system by a local key management application module. The H(UDID) is then authenticated by the cryptography key management system. An encryption/decryption key is then assigned for the client mobile device.
