When it comes to sending data to and from S60 3rd Edition devices and others, Media Sourcery Inc.’s Mobile Data Messenger meets all of the government requirements and more.

Mobile Data Messenger allows an enterprise to securely send and receive information to and from mobile client devices and the enterprise. Media Sourcery’s Data Messenger Forms application allows an enterprise to use Mobile Data Messenger to provide simple, mobile-display oriented forms out to its professional service providers and to receive their filled-out forms. Trackable, time-stamped data provides a chain-of-custody audit trail for the forms and for the procedures and associated items that they represent. Mobile Data Messenger and Data Messenger Forms are extensible to any industry that has mobile workers and that needs secure data entry and transmission.

From LiveBolt Identity Blog :: June 25, 2008

"A Texas company (and LiveBolt partner), Media Sourcery, specializes in secure distribution and collection of confidential information. They offer a secure smart phone application (Mobile Data Messenger) that currently works with XML form data. The application will allow you to send or receive encrypted traffic entered into a form (the form can look just like an email message, with to, from and body fields) to another Data Messenger user (or system) for retrieval (or processing).

I spoke with Media Sourcery, and they said their upcoming version offers bi-directional, confidential data exchange, does not require forms, and would work with any file type you care to send. They currently have the ability to send encrypted photos (taken by the BlackBerry camera). The newest BB OS includes viewers for .doc and .ppt files, so the capability becomes immediately more useful.

The other good thing about a third party solution like that of Media Sourcery (which is Java based) is that it will work on other smart phones (think Nokia, which has 40% of the market for smart phones). Nokia currently has no secure messaging capability, as far as we know. PGP for Mobile devices only supports Windows Mobile and Blackberry. A good third party security solution will support your organization’s broad mix of endpoints, and make them all secure."
