Latest Microsoft Security Model For WM5 & WM6 White Paper

Learn the latest Security policy that Mocrosoft implemented in WM5 & WM6 with this latest white paper from Microsoft. 

Windows Mobile^®-powered devices employ a combination of security policies, roles, and certificates to address configuration, remote access, and application execution.

Security policies provide the flexibility to control access to the device. If a user or application is allowed access, security policies then control the boundaries for actions, access and functionality. The following list shows some of the ways you can use security policies on Windows Mobile-powered devices:

• Control which applications are allowed to run on the device and what they can do.
• Control who can access specific device settings, and their level of access.
• Control what desktop applications can do on the device (Remote API (RAPI) control through ActiveSync^®).
• Policies configure security settings that are then enforced with the security roles and certificates
• Security roles determine access to device resources, based on message origin and how the message is signed.
• Certificates are used to sign executables, DLLs, and CAB files that run on Windows Mobile-powered devices.
