  • Method for validating an application for use in a mobile communication device
    Patent number: 6775536
    Abstract: A wireless domain (602) sets a security policy for all mobile communication devices (606) within the domain by use of a system entry proxy server (604). A developer makes an application or code segment available at a developer station (600). The application is certified by a certificate defining a developer security setting. The user of the mobile communication device initiates a download of the application so that it can be installed onto the mobile communication device. The application is downloaded through the system entry proxy server which authenticates the application, then re-certifies it with a compact certificate including an operator defined security policy. In this way the operator can control which resources of the mobile communication device are accessed by all applications coming into the wireless domain.
