The granted patent (Publication Number: US11930357B2) outlines a method for verifying a sender as trusted on a mobile network. The process involves receiving an HTTP-encrypted message from an enterprise service to a cloud messaging service, decrypting and signing the message at the cloud messaging service, and transmitting it to a subscriber device running a trusted application with access to a trusted execution environment (TEE). The subscriber device validates the message using the public key of the cloud messaging service stored in the TEE, providing a secure means of communication between the sender and recipient.

Additionally, the patent describes a method for provisioning a key pair for securing communication between the cloud messaging service and the subscriber device's trusted application. This involves generating a key pair, validating the subscriber device through immutable information retrieved from the TEE, and storing the private key in a cloud wallet service. The process ensures secure communication between the cloud messaging service and the trusted application, with the TEE serving as an isolated and secure area on the subscriber device. Furthermore, the patent details a method for verifying the authenticity of messages transmitted from an enterprise service to a subscriber device through a cloud messaging service, including signing a special header with a private key, verifying the header on the subscriber device using a software component, and transmitting a delivery receipt back to the messaging gateway for confirmation. The method also includes generating a second signature for the message content, enhancing the security and integrity of the communication process.
