Abstract
A mobile application security system and method, in the preferred embodiment, permits authentication of a user of a sensitive mobile application dispatched from a vulnerable host to occur, but does not perform user authentication for non-sensitive mobile applications or for sensitive mobile applications dispatched from non-vulnerable hosts. A hub and spoke architecture and a peer-to-peer architecture are described.
Claims36
A mobile application security system, comprising:
- a management and security console computer that executes instructions for controlling the security of a mobile application;
- one or more host computers connected to the console computer, each host computer executing the mobile application that jumps between the hosts during execution;
- the console computer further comprising means for monitoring the security of the mobile application as it jumps between a dispatching host and another host wherein information about the mobile application and the dispatching host is communicated to the console computer;
- and
- wherein the security monitoring means further comprises means for determining if authentication of the dispatching host is required prior to dispatch of the mobile application.
2 more elements
A mobile application security method, comprising:
- receiving data about a mobile application at a security node each time the mobile application jumps from a dispatching host to another host in a mobile application system;
- and
- determining if authentication of the dispatching host is required prior to dispatch of the mobile application.
A mobile application security system, comprising:
- one or more nodes of a peer-to-peer network wherein each node is configured to execute a mobile application;
- a management and security node connected to each node of the peer-to-peer network for controlling the security of a mobile application;
- the management and security node further comprising means for monitoring the security of the mobile application as it jumps between the nodes wherein data about the mobile application is communicated to the management and security node prior to the mobile application being dispatched from a dispatching node;
- and
- wherein the security monitoring means further comprises means for determining if authentication of the dispatching node is required prior to dispatch of the mobile application.
2 more elements
A mobile application security method, comprising:
- receiving data about a mobile application at a management and security node each time the mobile application is being dispatched from a dispatching node in a peer-to-peer network;
- and
- monitoring the security of the mobile application as it jumps between the nodes, wherein the security monitoring further comprises determining if authentication of the dispatching node is required prior to dispatch of the mobile application.
