Secardeo certMode EAS Certificate Proxy is a software solution that acts as a proxy between mobile devices and Microsoft Exchange servers to enable the secure retrieval of S/MIME certificates. It converts limited Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) certificate search requests into standard LDAP queries, allowing mobile email clients on iOS and Android to access global certificate directories. This enables users to send end-to-end encrypted emails to both internal and external recipients directly from their smartphones, leveraging existing PKI infrastructure for enhanced mobile email security.
