About PGP Mobile
Mobile devices such as Windows Mobile smartphones are popular tools for
digital communications, both in the office and on the road. As more employees
and executives begin to carry these wireless devices, the amount of sensitive
and confidential information put at risk increases. Lacking the right protection,
sensitive email that is stored or transmitted on mobile devices may be
breached. The resulting damages can include lost revenue, regulatory penalties,
and brand damage.
PGP Mobile enables enterprises to extend market-leading PGP® encryption
security solutions for laptops and desktops to Windows Mobile devices,
allowing users to encrypt emails, files, and entire storage volumes.
Built on proven encryption and key management services, PGP Mobile provides
flexible encryption to meet the data protection and sharing needs of a mobile
enterprise. With PGP Mobile, entire data volumes, archives, directories, or
individual files can be encrypted. Incoming and outgoing email can be encrypted
or decrypted, signed or verified.
Ready for the mobile enterprise, PGP Mobile can be deployed over-the-air,
leveraging PGP Universal Server's trusted key management and provisioning
services to reduce administrator setup time. When needed, PGP Mobile
encrypted data can easily be shared with Windows users, even those without
encryption software.
PGP Mobile is a PGP Encryption Platform-enabled application. The PGP
Encryption Platform provides a strategic enterprise encryption framework for
shared user management, policy, and provisioning, automated across multiple,
integrated encryption applications. As a PGP Encryption Platform-enabled
application, PGP Mobile is managed with PGP Universal Server to manage
existing policies, users, keys, and configurations, expediting deployment and
policy enforcement.

PGP® Mobile 9.10 About PGP Mobile
Overview
PGP Mobile is a security tool that uses cryptography to protect your data against
unauthorized access.
PGP Mobile protects your data by encrypting email messages, individual files,
entire data volumes, archives, or directories. Use PGP Mobile to put any
combination of files and folders into an encrypted, compressed package for easy
distribution or backup. Finally, use PGP Mobile to shred (securely delete)
sensitive files—so that no one can retrieve them.
Important Terms
PGP Mobile: A software product from PGP Corporation that allows users to
secure emails, files, and entire storage volumes on their mobile devices.
PGP Universal Server: A software product from PGP Corporation used for
configuration and management of PGP Corporation encryption applications,
including PGP Mobile.
LDAP directory synchronization: An optional feature of PGP Universal Server
that lets your PGP Universal Server query your organization's LDAP directory
server (a Microsoft Active Directory server, for example), thus taking advantage
of existing information about configured users and their authentication
credentials.
enrollment: A process during installation of PGP Mobile where the PGP Mobile
client synchronizes with the PGP Universal Server. The enrollment process
establishes the relationship between the client and the server, binding the
managed client to the specific PGP Universal Server. During enrollment, and at
specific times afterwards, the PGP Mobile client receives policy and preference
updates from the PGP Universal Server. SKM and GKM keys are also
downloaded to PGP Mobile during enrollment (the private key portion of CKM
and SCKM keys must be downloaded and imported manually; see the PGP
Mobile User's Guide for more information).
PGP Mobile and the PGP Universal Server
PGP Mobile requires that users be in a PGP Universal Server-managed
environment where the LDAP Directory Synchronization feature is enabled. You
provide the information about which PGP Universal Server the PGP Mobile user
enrolls with through a separate configuration file provided during client
installation.
