Abstract

Preventing enterprise or other protected content data from “leaking” from being under secure management on a device, for example by virtue of being viewed using an untrusted app on the device, is disclosed. An indication is received that a content to be provided to a first mobile application on a mobile device is to be protected against unauthorized access at the mobile device using unauthorized applications other than the first mobile application. The content is encrypted while in transit to the mobile device, using a key associated with a second mobile application authorized to be used to access the content at the mobile device.
