Enabling secure notifications to mobile devices via cloud

Grazed from CIOL. Author: Editorial Staff.

IBM inventors have patented a cloud computing security technique that enables app developers to ensure that data notifications are securely and confidentially pushed to and from mobile devices. It enables developers to create applications that can encrypt data notifications, assign them a unique message identifier (ID) that is securely transmitted to a mobile device via a third-party service provider.

Maintaining the privacy and confidentiality of data shared via mobile networks is a priority for developers, service providers and end-users, yet IBM security researchers found that insufficient security protocols in mobile applications can risk exposing details of data notifications pushed across mobile networks, potentially exposing personal or sensitive information to service providers…
