Certificate Authority

A certificate authority (CA) is a trusted organization that issues digital certificates. Digital certificates are used with Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology to facilitate encrypted secure communications between web servers and endpoints such as mobile devices, laptops and PCs. When an endpoint contacts the server it requests a digital certificate with information about the owner of the web site and a public key. The endpoint sends the certificate to the Certificate Authority, who validates that it comesfrom the purported source (e.g. the user’s employer or the user’s bank). The endpoint uses the public key to establish an encrypted connection with the server. Third party certificate authorities include VeriSign, Entrust and GoDaddy. Enterprises and government agencies can set up their own CAs.

MDM(Mobile DeviceManagement)

Mobile Device Management (MDM) systems are used to provision, monitor, manage, secure, support and secure mobile devices. Most MDM systems include a server-based management component and an agent or app that runs on each device. Some systems are vendor-specific (e.g., work only with iOS or RIM BlackBerry devices), while others span multiple operating systems and manufacturers (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows Mobile and Symbian). Most MDM solutions are premises-based, although cloud-based alternatives are emerging.Typical features of MDM systems include:

• Tracking of devices by serial number, user name, manufacturer and operating system.• Inventory of software and hardware on devices.• Management of passcode policies.• The ability to distribute and manage Wi-Fi and VPN policies.• Remote “over-the-air” configuration and provisioning.• Remote wipe, lock and unlock.• The ability to block or disable cameras, browsers and access to app stores.• Reporting on the status and configuration of devices.

MSM(Mobile ServiceManagement)

Mobile Service Management (MSM) products gather network, server and application health and performance data in order to provide end-to-end monitoring of mobile applications. This allows an administrator to track when users are having trouble connecting, or are getting slow performance on email and mobile applications. Some MSM vendors are branching out by adding MDM features to their solutions.

OTAConfiguration

Over-the-air (OTA) configuration, also known as over-the-air programming and over-the-air provisioning (OTAP), is the ability to configure and assign policies to remote mobile devices solely through a wireless connection. OTA configuration eliminates the need for IT administrators or support personnel to physical touch devices in order to prepare them for email and corporate applications. This is particularly important when there are many distributed users, and when users purchase their own devices.

OTA configuration can also refer to distributing software and application updates to mobile devices.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-air_programming

Passcode A passcode is a string of characters or numbers used to authenticate a user to a device. Most mobile devices can be configured with passcode policies, for example a requirement that passcodes have a minimum number of characters, or include at least one alphabetic and one numeric character, or be changed within a certain time period.

ProvisioningProfile

A provisioning profile is a file installed on mobile devices, especially iPhones, that allows specific in-house applications to be installed and executed. Administrators can use provisioning profiles to restrict applications to specific devices.

QNX QNX is a Unix-like real-time operating system used primarily for embedded systems. It is a good fit for embedded systems with limited space because it is small and, as a microkernel-based OS, functionality not required for a specific system can be turned off. It was acquired by Research in Motion and is the basis of the new BlackBerry Tablet OS. RIM has indicated that it a version of QNX will ultimately replace the BlackBerry OS.
