Apparatus and method for deploying encrypted mobile off-line web applications

1. A mobile device operable to deploy an encrypted mobile web application off-line from a network connection, comprising,

a transceiver operable to receive an archive file comprising encrypted source files of web applications;

a storage unit operable to store the received archive file;

a local web server operable to:

interpret a format of the received archive file,

retrieve at least one source file from the archive file in response to a request from a device browser,

decrypt the retrieved source file, and

forward the decrypted source file to the device browser; and

the device browser operable to execute at least a portion of the decrypted source file and display unencrypted information.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the archive file comprises individually encrypted source files stored in a single directory tree structure.

3. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the archive file is encrypted with an asymmetric key encryption algorithm.

4. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is operable to automatically receive the archive file when the mobile device is within a local area network coverage range.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the device browser is a Web browser.

6. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the device browser is a Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML) renderer which is operable to request unencrypted HTML pages from the local web server, the local web server being executed on a specified port on the mobile device.

7. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein when the local web server is being executed in an encrypted mode the request from the device browser is translated into a read request of an encrypted developer application that was used to encrypt the local web server.

8. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the local web server is operable to decrypt the retrieved source file with a private key.

9. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the local web server is operable to deny requests from a device browser being executed in a remote location.

10. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the transceiver is operable to receive an application executable for the local web server in a separate compiled library as a closed source application to maintain the security of a decryption key.

11. A method for deploying an encrypted mobile web application off-line from a network connection, comprising,

receiving, by a mobile device, an archive file comprising encrypted source files of web applications;

storing, on the mobile device, the received archive file;

interpret, by the mobile device, a format of the received archive file;

retrieving using the interpreted format, by the mobile device, at least one source file from the archive file responsive to receiving a request from a device browser being executed on the mobile device;

decrypting, by the mobile device, the retrieved source file;

forwarding, by the mobile device, the decrypted source file to the device browser;

execute, by the mobile device, at least a portion of the decrypted source file; and

displaying, by the mobile device, unencrypted information on the device browser.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving comprises automatically receiving the archive file when the mobile device is within a local area network coverage range.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving comprises receiving the archive file when the mobile device is connected to a computing device storing the archive file.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising translating the request from the device browser into a read request of an encrypted developer application that was used to encrypt a local web server operating on the mobile device, the local web server being operable to perform the interpreting, retrieving, decrypting and forwarding.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the decrypting comprises decrypting the retrieved source file with a private key.

16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising denying requests from a device browser being executed in a remote location.
