The present disclosure provides distributed, multi-tenant Virtual Private Network (VPN) cloud systems and methods for mobile security and user based policy enforcement. In an exemplary embodiment, plural mobile devices are configured to connect to one or more enforcement or processing nodes over VPN connections. The enforcement or processing nodes are configured to perform content filtering, policy enforcement, and the like on some or all of the traffic from the mobile devices. The present invention is described as multi-tenant as it can connect to plural clients across different companies with different policies in a single distributed system. Advantageously, the present invention allows smartphone and tablet users to protect themselves from mobile malware, without requiring a security applications on the device. It allows administrators to seamless enforce policy for a user regardless of the device or network they are connecting to, as well as get granular visibility into the user's network behavior.

Embodiments of the invention may use a first accelerometer to measure first acceleration data of a first device. Other interaction data, including time data and geographic location data, generated by the first device may also be recorded. First acceleration data is compared by a remote server computer to second acceleration data generated by a second accelerometer in a second device. If the first and second accelerometer data are substantially equal, it can be determined that the devices have interacted and communications can be initiated. After communications are initiated, a financial transaction is conducted. Accelerometer data may be stored and/or used as part of the authentication process in a payment processing network. Other embodiments of the invention use the accelerometer to generate movement security data to make financial transaction more secure. Accelerometer data is used for authentication, security, encryption, session keys, non-repudiation, or fraud protection.

A method, security system control module and policy server for providing security for Mobile Stations (MSs) in a Packet-Switched Telecommunications System. When an MS accesses the system, its identity is sent to a security system control module that retrieves a security profile associated with the MS. A policy server of the security system control module stores individual security profiles, default security profiles and group security profiles for registered subscribers. Security settings associated with the MS security profile are returned from the policy server to a mobile security manager of the control module, which then determines if they should be propagated in the system. When no previous network access was made in a given time period by an MS having similar security settings, i.e. belongs to the same group security profile, the settings are propagated in the system in order to be enforced, for providing security protection for the MS.

A Mobile Security Unit (MSU) has a security checkpoint and a transport. The security checkpoint has an item screening area and a personal screening area. The checkpoint is configured as needed to fit within the transport. The MSU may further separate certain individuals into a secure, enclosed wanding station for additional security screening. The wanding station may be constructed using glass (or other strong, visually transparent substance) and metallic (such as aluminum or steel) posts so that people may be securely enclosed in the wanding station but still have a direct line of sight to personal items being screened at another location. The MSU is configured so that most people pass straight through the checkpoint, and people leaving the wanding station can easily obtain their items without delaying others.

The present invention provides a method of authenticating, authorizing, encrypting and decrypting an application by utilizing a mobile secure server as the platform that can allow the subscriber to authenticate, authorize, encrypt or decrypt a document or an application through the mobile secure server.

A mobile security monitoring method and system and an alarm security node in the system for intelligent security system, where said intelligent security system is activated by a breach in a security zone. This breach will start a video monitoring/recording sequence that is sent out via the broadband to an alarm center. The alarm center forwards this alarm information to a user as SMS/MMS information through a mobile network. The user can view and evaluate what is going on at the security zone and can decide what action to initiate. This will minimize a false alarm generation and thus cut down the costs of follow thru of the false alarm (s) by i.e. an alarm security provider. For security and cost reason, the intelligent security system is the only client of the server-side alarm center. The concept is to use existing IT infrastructure at the security zone for user like W-LAN, broadband, GPRS and mobile devices. A mobile phone can be used for activation and deactivation of intelligent security system based on manual push of a button on the user device. Another aspect is to make the activation/deactivation step dependent on mobile location like GPS or mobile positioning system based on mobile network 400 infrastructures that use the spatial trigger.

A method includes generating a user profile for an authorized user of a mobile device based on behavior patterns associated with the authorized user. The method also includes detecting subsequent user behavior of a particular user during an attempt by the particular user to access the mobile device. The method also includes comparing the subsequent user behavior to the behavior patterns of the user profile to determine whether the particular user is authorized or unauthorized. In response to determining that the particular user is an unauthorized user, the method includes detecting activity by the unauthorized user and performing a countermeasure of a plurality of countermeasures in response to detecting the activity. Each countermeasure of the plurality of countermeasures has a different security level and corresponds to a degree of the activity.
