11. Authentication
• Enterprise / Service Provider Hosted Deployment
­ User/pass authentication directly with back­end
­ No need to store passwords in Mobile Gateway
• Service Provider Managed Deployment
­ User/pass authentication with Mobile Gateway
­ Mobile Gateway server authenticates with Web Service
server
­ Mobile user mapped to Enterprise user in Web Service
server
­ Two password domains: Gateway server and Web
Service server
Slide 11

12. Mobile Client Security
• Client Application Authentication
­ syncml:auth­basic / syncml:auth­md5 over https
• Transport Layer Security via HTTPS
• On­Device Data Encryption
­ Alphanumeric PIN based encryption scheme
­ MD5 digest of pin used as encryption key
­ data encrypted with triple DES or AES
