An introduction to the new security architecture of Symbian OS v9, describing the security model, the implications for the design of software running on it, and new programming interfaces for working with platform security features. The book will present the philosophy of the platform security architecture in general terms, explain the security model employed, and then follow up with targeted advice for the developers of specific classes of software. The book will conclude with a market-oriented discussion of possible future developments in the field of mobile device security. The Platform Security architecture influences the decisions made by every developer that uses Symbian OS, either for device creation or for application creation. The approach of the book will be to explain the philosophy of platform security as well as the implementation. This approach, mixing concepts and narrative with code segments and examples will: *explain the context and need for Platform Security on mobile devices and the concepts that underly the architecture, such as the core principles of 'trust', 'capability' and 'data caging' *explain how to develop on a secure platform: the development environment and how to write secure applications, servers and plugins; and how to share data safely between devices *explain the concepts of application certification and signing, the industry 'gatekeepers' of platform security
