Message Content Security

Whether information originates on the device or server, NotifyLink transmits “data-in-motion” in an encrypted tunnel so it is secure in transit.

AES / TDES Encryption  NotifyLink Enterprise Server (NLES) supports Triple Data Encryption Standard (TDES) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithms for encrypting message content delivered from NLES to wireless devices.  Since NotifyLink supports both protocols, it is up to the administrator to choose which is used. 

Each unique user encryption key is 256 bits in size and is shared by the server and device.  The key can be set by the administrator, the end user (if IT Policy permissions are granted), or can be generated randomly.  It can be sent over the air. 

Every message retrieved from the mail server is encrypted behind the corporate firewall and decrypted only when it reaches the correct handheld.  The reverse process is true as well.  When information originates on the device (replies, changes, new information), it is encrypted before leaving the device and decrypted at the NotifyLink Enterprise Server.

SSL Encryption  Additionally, communication between the NotifyLink HTTP/Web server and the device can be encrypted using SSL (HTTPS) to protect messages traveling over the Internet, thus providing a second layer of security for data-in-motion.
