Abstract

A system or method of remotely managing security certificates on a mobile device is provided. Certificates on a mobile device may be added to, deleted from, or updated by a server that manages certificates on one or more mobile devices. The server may retrieve new certificates from a certificate authority and push the certificate to the mobile device where it is stored for subsequent use. The management of security certificates on a mobile device may be governed by one or more certificate-management rules that are enforced by the remote server and/or the mobile device.
