Provisioning Security Artifacts

Typically, you must provision Unwired Platform security artifacts before applications can be used. The manner by which an artifact is provisioned depends on the artifacts themselves, the device types used, and your deployment environment.

Provisioning methods for different application types is extensively documented in Mobile Application Provisioning. For complete details on provisioning techniques, read Stage 3: Provision.

• Security Artifacts That Require Provisioning
  Certain artifacts must be provisioned to the device before the device can connect to the runtime.
• Provisioning the Public RSA key from the Messaging Server for MBS Encryption
  If you are not using Afaria, you can install the client application, then connect to the corporate LAN using Wi-Fi or other method of your choosing in order to provision devices with required files. This allows you to seed public RSA keys to the device so that over-the-air connections to Unwired Server can be mutually-authenticated and you can minimize the possibility of a rogue server intercepting your initial synchronization and providing its own RSA public key.
