The Enable screen lock setting must be set to Yes. In the Pointsec Mobile About box, look for the text "Push email is supported". The Temporary Encryption function is supported on the same devices as the Push Email function. For a description of the temporary encryption function, see the Administrator’s Guide delivered with the product. These devices using the recommended software version support Push Email and Temporary Encryption: E90 E71 E71x E72 E75 E66 E63 E51 E51-2 E52 Supported Devices Page 7 Untested Software Untested Software We do not recommend the installation of untested software because this may compromise Pointsec Mobile's functionality or produce unwanted behavior in the device. These are examples of possible issues with untested software: The software may be denied access to encrypted files. Pointsec Mobile must close most applications when locking, and untested software may not handle restart properly. The software may create files that unintentionally become encrypted. A common example is .txt files used for logging. Unintentionally encrypted files may prevent the software from working properly, but can be worked around by placing the folder containing such files on the exclusion list. System Requirements To install Pointsec Mobile on a device, you must have a working synchronization connection between the Symbian device and a PC.

System Requirements Page 8 Consider Usability General Recommendations Always use the documented procedures for installing, upgrading, and removing Pointsec Mobile. Consider Usability Before deploying to large numbers of users, we recommend that you test each new profile for usability. While Pointsec Mobile is a powerful, flexible security tool, it does not warn if security settings are likely to make the device difficult to use. If you need help reaching the optimum balance between security and user experience for your organization, please contact your Check Point representative. Let Operations Complete When installing, upgrading or uninstalling Pointsec Mobile, do not switch the device off manually until the operation is complete. Unlock Pointsec Mobile Make sure that Pointsec Mobile is unlocked before initiating installation or removal of other applications on a Pointsec Mobile-protected device.

  • An Architecture for a Next Generation Voip Transmission Systems
    An Architecture for a Next Generation VoIP Transmission Systems Christian Hoene1, Kai Clüver2, Jan Weil2 1Wilhelm-Schickard-Institute, University of Tübingen, Germany 2Fachgebiet Nachrichtenübertragung, Technical University of Berlin, Germany 1.1 Abstract Packetized speech transmission systems implemented with Voice over IP are gaining momentum against the traditional circuit switched systems despite the fact that packet switched VoIP is two to three times less efficient then its circuit switched counter part. At the time same time it is supporting just a rather bad “toll” quality. We believe that it is time to for a new architecture developed from the scratch. An architecture that includes an Internet enabled speech codec and its transport system. This architecture manages the perceptual service quality while using the available transmission resources to its best. The transmission of speech is managed and controlled in respect to its speech quality, month-to-ear delay, bit-rate, frame-rate, and loss robustness. Beside the architecture, we describe the requirements for the Internet speech codec and its transport protocol and present the description of an interface between speech codec and transport protocol. 2 Introduction Internet Telephony is a mature technology that has gained increasing popularity against the traditional PSTN systems. Voice over IP (VoIP) is replacing the PSTN service on broadband access networks such as cable modems and DSL, as it is more cost efficient to use IP broadband access also for Internet telephony. In addition, future wireless broadband access networks such as the 3GPP’s Long Term Evaluation (LTE) radio technology will support telephone services only via VoIP [1].

  • Jarno Niemelä Types of Mobile Threats
    Jarno Niemelä Types of Mobile Threats What we have seen so far • Viruses • Worms • Trojans • Single target spying applications What we have not seen yet • Rootkits • A worm that does not need user interaction to spread • Mass distributed spyware • Large scale profit oriented malware (professionals) 26.2.2008 2 Mobile Spy Tools Mobile spy tools are applications that are installed onto a phone to send information out from the phone • Typical example - an application that forwards all received SMS messages to a third party without the user's permission Mobile spy tools are not illegal in and of themselves • Their vendors state (weakly in most cases) that they must only be used for legal purposes • While in reality most of the things for which people use these tools are illegal; or at least they are in countries that have strong privacy protection laws 26.2.2008 3 Who Would Use Spy Tools The same people who use PC based spy tools • Oppressive spouses and other domestic abuse cases • Private investigators / divorce attorneys • Managers monitoring their employees • Industrial spies Some vendors sell both PC and mobile spy tools • And give discounts if you buy both • Spy both on your wife’s PC and her mobile phone 26.2.2008 4 Targeted and Untargeted Spy Tools Targeted spy tools are limited by the vendor • A spy must know the victim before obtaining the spy tool • Limitations are usually applied by requiring the target device's IMEI code in order to obtain the spy software • So the spy needs to have access to the device at least twice • This is
