Abstract: An electronic device includes a memory configured to store an application, a communication interface, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive a request to install or execute the application, verify whether the application is authenticated compare at least part of an icon for executing the application with a security indication associated with security of the application. The electronic device provides a result of comparing the at least part of the icon with the security indication based on whether the application is authenticated.

Abstract: A electronic device and a control method of the electronic device are provided. A control method includes providing a first environment in which at least one application can operate and a second environment having an operation environment at least partially different from the first environment; determining whether a first application among the at least one application is to be executed in the second environment, when an execution command of the first application is acquired; and executing the first application in the second environment, when it is determined that the first application is to be executed in the second environment.

Abstract: An electronic device and method of controlling an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a communication module; a processor; and a memory that stores instructions to instruct the processor to install a first application operating only in a first environment, install a second application selectively operating in at least one of the first environment and a second environment, grant access to the first application to first data, the first data being generated while the second application operates in the first environment, deny access to the first application to second data, the second data being generated while the second application operates in the second environment, grant access to the second application to third data, the third data being generated while the first application operates in the first environment, and allocate the second application to at least the second environment without a user's input when the second application is installed.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing of the electronic device, a memory disposed in the housing, a user interface, and a processor electrically connected with the memory and the user interface. The memory stores instructions, which, when executed, cause the processor to store encrypted content in the memory, receive an input for loading the content through the user interface, decrypt the content based at least in part on the input, store the decrypted content in the memory separately from the encrypted content, and provide the decrypted content through the user interface.
