Abstract

A method for maintaining the security of a wireless database management system (WDMS) including steps of encrypting data for transmission through both hard-wired and wireless networks, authenticating user identities, timing out idle connections, assigning sessions, and categorizing types of user access. Each component of the structure of a WDMS is described along with the various security techniques employed for securing the data transmitted and received by that component.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for securing data within a wireless database management system, the method comprising the steps of: 
 encrypting data transferred within a wireless database management system with a public key method;    encrypting data transferred within a wireless database management system with a private key method; and    encrypting data transferred between a wireless base station and a server with a low-layer security protocol.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a server and the Internet.  
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  further comprising the step of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a database server and a server.  
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 timing out connections between a wireless device and a server.  
 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 authenticating the identity of a user of a wireless database management system.  
 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 categorizing users of a wireless database management system into groups that are allowed different levels of access to a database.  
 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 coding queries made to a database server by a user of a wireless device, and storing those queries and codes in memory.  
 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 identifying a session that a user of a wireless device has established with a server with a session identification phrase, and storing the session identification phrase in memory.  
 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4  further comprising the step of: 
 allowing the timing out of connections between a wireless device and a server to be adjusted.  
 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 using a controlled wireless proxy server for securing data transferred between a wireless base station and the Internet.  
 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10  further comprising the steps of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a server and the Internet;  
 using a controlled server for securing data transferred on the Internet; and  
 connecting an Intranet to a controlled server on the Internet through the firewall.  
 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11  further comprising the step of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a database server and a server.  
 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 compressing and parsing data transferred between a wireless device and a wireless base station.  
 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising the step of: 
 nicknaming the address of a database.  
 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14  further comprising the step of: 
 storing the nickname and its address in memory.  
 
     
     
         16 . A method for securing data within a wireless database management system, the method comprising the steps of: 
 authenticating the identity of a user of a wireless database management system;    identifying a session that a user of a wireless device has established with a web server with a session identification phrase, and storing the session identification phrase in memory; and    timing out connections between a wireless device and a server.    
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of: 
 allowing the timing out of connections between a wireless device and a server to be adjusted.  
 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the steps of: 
 encrypting data transferred within a wireless database management system with a public key method;  
 encrypting data transferred within a wireless database management system with a private key method; and  
 encrypting data transferred between a wireless base station and a server with a low-layer security protocol.  
 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a server and the Internet.  
 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a database server and a server.  
 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of: 
 categorizing users of a wireless database management system into groups that are allowed different levels of access to a database.  
 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of: 
 coding queries made to a database server by a user of a wireless device, and storing those queries and codes in memory.  
 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 16  further comprising the step of:

         24 . The method of  claim 23  further comprising the steps of: 
 limiting access to a wireless database management system with a firewall between a server and the Internet;  
 using a controlled server for securing data transferred on the Internet; and
