Renati Socket Service

The Renati Socket Service

RSS
, also known as our Secure Socket Tunnel, provides real-time, low-latency, high-performance bi-directional communication with our infrastructure. Initially developed to optimize battery life and streamline device management through our built-in mobile device management service. RSS facilitates secure authentication between the client and server, offering protection on both public and untrusted networks. This ensures secure provisioning and safeguards against data leaks, making RSS essential for communication security. We are currently working to extend the API, enabling our applications to integrate with RSS for Single Sign-On with ChatMail, consolidating all communications through a single, secure tunnel.

Renati Package Service

The Renati Package Service

RPS
, securely delivers applications to our device, ensuring the integrity and safety of every installation. By leveraging advanced techniques such as hashing, signature checks, and Brotli compression, the service guarantees that only authentic, unaltered applications are installed. Hashing and signature checks verify the authenticity of the package, preventing tampering or malicious modifications. Meanwhile, Brotli compression optimizes the delivery of applications, reducing file sizes and enhancing download efficiency without compromising security. This robust approach ensures that every app installed on the device is both secure and reliable

Renati Mobile Device Management

The Renati Device Management Service

RMS
, is a dedicated service integrated directly into System Server, the first process forked by Zygote and the core of Android’s operation. Unlike traditional Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions, which run as a standalone application and can be disabled or manipulated by advanced exploits.

As a security-focused operating system, device management must also be deeply embedded within its core. Some of the exploits available work by blocking communication between MDM agents and system processes, our system-level integration eliminates vulnerabilities that often compromise traditional MDM agents, ensuring tamper-resistant administration. Renati allows administrators to securely perform critical functions like factory resets, application management and policy enforcement. With a security-first architecture, embedding device management within System Server ensures that security remains a fundamental part of the operating system at every level.

Privacy-Focused Device Management

Many traditional MDM solutions overstep their intended purpose, collecting excessive data such as IMEI numbers, real-time tracking information and the ability to reset a devices password to gain access. RDM ensures that only essential management functions are accessible to administrators.

  • UUID-Based Identification: Unlike standard MDMs that rely on IMEI tracking, Renati assigns each device a unique, randomly generated UUID for identification and management.
  • Minimal Data Collection: The management system only provides necessary administrative functions without unnecessary tracking or interference.

Administrator Capabilities

Renati’s management system allows organization administrators to perform only the essential functions required for device administration, ensuring both security and privacy.

These include:

  • Factory Reset – Securely wipes the device, with the option to delete eSIMS.
  • Check Installed Applications – Retrieves a list of installed apps to verify compliance.
  • Refresh and Apply Device Policies – Update the device with predefined organizational policies.
  • Assign Groups & Access Mask Applications – Manages device applications based on group membership and update channel.
  • Change Update Channels – Configures the device’s OTA update settings to allow for alternative update channels.
  • Enable/Disable Roaming – Grants administrators control over cellular roaming functionality.

Renati’s system-integrated device management approach provides a secure alternative to traditional MDM solutions. By embedding management within System Server, it prevents common exploits that compromise administrative control, ensuring devices remain secure, manageable, and resistant to unauthorized tampering. With a focus on minimal data collection, UUID- based identification, and core security integration, Renati redefines how device management should function in a security-first operating system.
