Abstract
A computer-implemented method for establishing secure mobile communications is described. A virtual private network (VPN) between a mobile device and a server is established. A transmission of at least a portion of data between a first application and the server is blocked. It is determined whether the first application on the mobile device is a trusted application. Upon determining the first application is an untrusted application, a transmission of at least a portion of data between the untrusted application and the server continues to be blocked.
