Secured presentation layer virtualization for wireless handheld communication device having endpoint independence

A computer-readable storage device having computer executable instructions stored thereon for:

• securely communicating, by a presentation appliance, with a wireless communication device such that the presentation appliance communicates data securely with a private network over a public wireless network;
• accessing a virtual file system for the presentation appliance to store data in a store of the wireless communication device, the virtual file system providing a private data zone for securely storing data;
• providing, in the presentation appliance, a data containment environment for restricting applications executing on the presentation appliance from storing, other than transiently, or communicating data other than to the:
• wireless communication device;
• via the wireless communication device, communicating data with the private network and storing data in the private data zone without storing the data in the presentation appliance;
• and
• wherein the data containment environment operates to trap requests to store data in a storage device available to the presentation appliance and temporally cache the data to only transiently store the data on the presentation appliance.

A presentation appliance comprising:

• a processor device configured to:
• securely communicate with a wireless communication device such that the presentation appliance communicates data securely with a private network over a public wireless network;
• access a virtual file system for the presentation appliance to store data in a store of the wireless communication device, wherein the virtual file system provides a private data zone for securely storing data;
• provide, in the presentation appliance, a data containment environment that restricts applications executing on the presentation appliance from storing, other than transiently, or communicating data other than to the wireless communication device;
• via the wireless communication device, communicate data with the private network and storing data in the private data zone without storing the data in the presentation appliance;
• and
• wherein the data containment environment operates to trap requests to store data in a storage device available to the presentation appliance and temporally cache the data to only transiently store the data on the presentation appliance.
