Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: communicating with a mobile device from a computing node, wherein the computing node includes a node security program configured to interpret a node security profile of the computing node, wherein the node security profile sets security parameters for managing security between the computing node, the mobile device, and a network resource, and wherein the computing node is separate from the mobile device and communicates with the mobile device via a communication link; evaluating the node security profile to determine whether the computing node is authorized to transfer a device security profile to the mobile device, wherein the device security profile sets security parameters for the mobile device; transferring the device security profile to the mobile device if the computing node is authorized to transfer the device security profile; evaluating at least one security parameter of the node security profile in order to manage a process involving data being communicated between the computing node and the mobile device and the network resource; determining that the process is not authorized based on the at least one security parameter, wherein the at least one security parameter includes information, based on a mobile device parameter, identifying the computing node as not being authorized; and preventing the process from executing when it is determined that the process is not authorized based on the at least one security parameter.
