Abstract
A mobile device has an inter-process software communication (IPC) bus that provides secure communication between a device link agent and software component processes. The software processes are allowed to access the bus based on access authorization information from a secure server that identifies those components. The device link object maintains a secure message link to a message link server that receives messages from plural network functions, identified for delivery to respective software components on the mobile device, and conveys them to the device link agent. For the authorized software components, the link agent delivers received messages to the component processes.
