Abstract
The invention includes a method and apparatus for notification and delivery of messages to mobile users using a secure client associated with a user device. The secure client includes a power module, a communication module, a storage module, and an alert module. The power module powers the client device independent of a power state of the user device. The communication module receives a wake-up message and responsively triggers the secure client to switch from an inactive state to an active state without changing the power state of the user device, initiates a secure connection with a secure gateway in response to the wake-up message, and requests and receives a user message from a messaging application using the secure connection. The storage module stores the received message independent of the power state of the user device. The alert module activates an alert to indicate that the message is available.
