Windows™ Phone, Windows™ Tablet, and Windows RT device security
There are special considerations to be aware of when securing a Windows™ Phone, Windows Tablet, or Windows RT device.
Authentication
IBM Traveler relies on the Domino® infrastructure (HTTP and Admin Client) to authenticate the user. The authentication credentials can be one of the user's allowed Domino® name formats, along with the user's HTTP password, or it can be something defined with the Directory Assistance database. All devices use HTTP basic authentication, so HTTPS is recommended for security reasons unless using a VPN or a secured network. Please see Windows Phone server administration and configuration for more information.
Account information and passwords
Mail, Calendar, and Contacts are controlled with the Exchange ActiveSync account. Those credentials are controlled by Microsoft™.
Data storage
Windows™ Phone and Windows™ RT device have device encryption throughout the entire device including the OS and its applications. Encryption kicks in as soon as you power up the device.
