Abstract
In an example embodiment, a mobile security offloader (MSOL) is provided. Within the MSOL, a mobile device identification component is used to receive unencrypted data from a mobile device in a mobile radio network and to determine a mobile device identification of the mobile device from the unencrypted data. A security profiles directory interface then uses the mobile device identification to retrieve a security profile corresponding to the mobile device identification from a security profiles directory, the security profile identifying a security protocol for encrypting data from the mobile device corresponding to the mobile device identification. An encryption engine is used to encrypt the unencrypted data using the security protocol identified in the security profile. A packet switched network interface is then used to route the encrypted data to a secured server identified in the data via a packet switched network.
