Don't expect miracles here, don't expect solutions to world's problems. It is more likely that I will ask [myself] questions looking for a always elusive answer.
And of course: "All opinions expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily represent the official view of Nokia". I mean it!
Platform Security - Lost and Found
ltomuta | 06 March, 2008 13:00
Don't worry, this is not yet another long article about what Platform Security is and why is it the second best thing ever, after the sliced pizza of course. O wait, that's the iPhone. Ok, ... the third! 
There's been some requests lately that "Platform Security" and "Signing and Certification" related info be made more visible on Forum Nokia so this post will do nothing more than indicate a bunch of links related to these to topics. Of course it will not do much for the cause since whoever knows how to find this post using the "Search" tool on Forum Nokia will find all the other relevant info anyway but well, there's nothing to lose so let's give it a try.
Comments are welcomed but please, no rant on this topic, I've seen it all. Do post links, as many and as relevant to the topic you can find.
Here's my Top 5:
- Forum Nokia's S60 Platform: Platform Security FAQ
- Forum Nokia's S60 Platform: Platform Security
- Forum Nokia's Training: eLearning
- Symbian Signed's The Complete Guide To Symbian Signed
- Forum Nokia's Documentation: Security
At the end a Platform Security question to motivate newcomers to read the above stuff: can an anti-virus application mix both the GUI and the active engine in one exe? Justify your answer.
There's no prize other than knowledge so let's give a chance to some students to answer this one ...

I've been poking my nose in mobile software development since 2000, starting on what was then the ER5 and Ericsson's R380. Since then I've been doing a bit of everything on the S60 Platform, from learning its bits and pieces to helping others find their way trough the maze.

"Symbian Platform Security" from Symbian Press is invaluable if you want some deeper understanding of platform security, that goes beyond the practical problems of getting your code signed and running on a phone.
