The penetration of smartphones within enterprises is rapidly increasing, so as the usage of it. Nowadays, Android applications are used widely in enterprise software to support their system. Software systems like SAP and IFS has their own mobile apps as a part of their software solutions, especially in field service domain. These enterprise mobile applications are not usually one single application. Rather it might be several apps that are inter related and communicate with each other. A number of ways are available which aids inter application communication. One way of such inter app communication is using "intents". Intents are simple message objects that are used to communicate from one activity to another. Intents could be also defined as the intention of an application. Although the intents are used in inter apps communication, the problem with intents is that they are not secure. Even Android Operating System doesn’t claim that these intents are secure. Therefore our research aims at finding how intents messages could be encrypted for enterprise systems considering high security, light weight ness and fast processing such that it would not be easy to crack.
