What is that Signing is the process of
encoding a tamper-proof digital certificate
into an application sis (installation) file. The
certificate identifies the applications origin,
and grants access to those Capability-
protected API\'s (Application Programming
Interface) in Symbian OS that the application
declared at build-time.
HERE ARE SEVERAL ACHIEVED EXAMPLEs:
On Symbian OS, protected APIs are those that
allow sensitive operations,such as those that
may:
* Access end users private data, thus
potentially breaching privacy
* Potentially create billable events, thus
costing the end user money
* Access the mobile phone network,
potentially affecting its operation
* Access handset functions that can affect
the normal behavior of the phone
* Potentially impact the performance of
other applications running on the phone.
Although Symbian didnt wanted the end-
user to get involved in all this process,
(signing etc should be only for the
developers) we got somehow involved at
the end.If you get a Developer Certificate.
this Cert is only for your phone, you cant use
it on other devices to install applications.
