Abstract: Examples of techniques for authenticating mobile applications are described herein. A method includes receiving, at a first server, a key pair and a policy file associated with a mobile service on a second server, the policy file includes a plurality of security objects to be authenticated, a plurality of computing devices to authenticate the security objects, and an order of authentication. The method includes distributing the key pair and the policy file to a security device. The method also includes receiving, at the first server, an authentication request from a mobile application. The method further includes creating an authenticity challenge as specified in the policy file and sending the authenticity challenge with a response to the mobile application.

Abstract: A processing system can detect a single user gesture while a first application is currently executing in a software environment provided by an operating system and has focus in the operating system. Responsive to the single user gesture being detected, an operating system menu including at least a first menu item can be presented by a user interface. The first menu item can be configured to initiate uninstallation of the first application currently executing in the software environment provided by the operating system and having focus in the operating system. Responsive to receiving a user selection of the first menu item, using a processor of the processing system, the first application currently executing in the software environment provided by the operating system and having focus in the operating system can be uninstalled.
