Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for securing at least one mobile device. A server includes a controller and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the controller. The executable instructions are configured to perform a method in which a secure communications session is established with a user and the user is allowed to input a list of a plurality of security actions to be performed at a mobile device associated with the user. A secure communications session is established with the mobile device, and the list of the plurality of security actions is provided to the mobile device simultaneously as a single instruction set.
Claims20
A method for securing a mobile device comprising:
- generating a time-sensitive server identity token (TSIT) at a server, the TSIT having an associated time stamp;
- sending the TSIT to the mobile device;
- generating a collection of time-based keys at the mobile device, each key representing a specific time within a period of time before the TSIT was received from the server;
- verifying that the TSIT was provided by the server if the TSIT matches one of the collection of time-based keys
- providing authentication information from the mobile device to the server in response to verification of the TSIT at the mobile device;
- establishing a secure communications session between the mobile device and the server after authenticating the server to the mobile device;
- and subsequently
- providing status information from the mobile device to the server;
- providing a list of at least one security action from the server to the mobile device;
- and
- processing the list of at least one security action at the mobile device such that each of the at least one security action is provided to one of a local queue for storage and a client software of the mobile device for execution.

A system for securing at least one mobile device comprising:
- a server comprising a controller and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the controller, the executable instructions configured to perform a method comprising:
- establishing a secure communications session with a user;
- allowing the user to input a list of a plurality of security actions to be performed at a mobile device of the at least one mobile device associated with the user;
- updating a list of security actions associated with the mobile device, comprising a plurality of security actions having associated conditions, according to the user input;
- establishing a secure communications session with the mobile device after authenticating the server to the mobile device by verifying, at the mobile device, a time-sensitive server identity token (TSIT) provide by the server;
- and subsequently
- providing the list of the plurality of security actions to the mobile device simultaneously as a single instruction set;
- and
- updating the list of security actions according to a list of logged events and executed security actions since a last secure communications session with the mobile device.

A system for securing at least one mobile device comprising:
- a mobile device comprising a controller and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the controller, the executable instructions configured to perform a method comprising:
- providing authentication information from the mobile device to an associated sever in response to authenticating, at the mobile device, a time-sensitive server identity token (TSIT) provide by the sever;
- and subsequently
- providing status information to the server, the status information comprising a trigger update representing a local queue of active triggers and a log of jobs executed and triggers whose conditions have been met since a last provision of status information to the server;
- retrieving an update from the server representing a difference between the local queue and a job queue at the server;
- and
- modifying the local queue according to the received update.

A system for securing at least one mobile device comprising:
- a mobile device comprising a controller and a non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions executable by the controller, the executable instructions configured to perform a method comprising:
- receiving a time-sensitive server identity token (TSIT) from the server;
- generating a collection of time-based keys, each key representing a specific time within a period of time before the TSIT was received from the server;
- verifying that the TSIT was provided by the server if the TSIT matches one of the collection of time-based keys;
- providing authentication information to an associated server once the TSIT is verified to have been provided by the server and a secure communications session is established between the mobile device and the sever;
- and subsequently
- providing status information to the server, the status information comprising a trigger update representing a local queue of active triggers;
- retrieving an update from the server representing a difference between the local queue and a job queue at the server;
- and
- modifying the local queue according to the received update.
