Symbian OS Platform Security
Symbian OS is an advanced, customizable operating system, which is licensed by the world's leading mobile phone manufacturers. The latest versions incorporate an enhanced security architecture designed to protect the interests of consumers, network operators and software developers. The new security architecture of Symbian OS v9 is relevant to all security practitioners and will influence the decisions made by every developer that uses Symbian OS in the creation of devices or add-on applications. Symbian OS Platform Security covers the essential concepts and presents the security features with accompanying code examples. This introductory book highlights and explains: the benefits of platform security on mobile devices key concepts that underlie the architecture, such as the core principles of ‘trust’, ‘capability’ and data ‘caging’ how to develop on a secure platform using real-world examples an effective approach to writing secure applications, servers and plug-ins, using real-world examples how to receive the full benefit of sharing data safely between applications the importance of application certification and signing from the industry ‘gatekeepers’ of platform security a market-oriented discussion of possible future developments in the field of mobile device security
Mobile Platform Security
Recently, mobile security has garnered considerable interest in both the research community and industry due to the popularity of smartphones. The current smartphone platforms are open systems that allow application development, also for malicious parties. To protect the mobile device, its user, and other mobile ecosystem stakeholders such as network operators, application execution is controlled by a platform security architecture. This book explores how such mobile platform security architectures work. We present a generic model for mobile platform security architectures: the model illustrates commonly used security mechanisms and techniques in mobile devices and allows a systematic comparison of different platforms. We analyze several mobile platforms using the model. In addition, this book explains hardware-security mechanisms typically present in a mobile device. We also discuss enterprise security extensions for mobile platforms and survey recent research in the area of mobile platform security. The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of mobile platform security for students, researchers, and practitioners.
