Security Domains

The SDK supports five security domains for MSA:

unidentified_third_party. Provides a high level of security for applications whose origins and authenticity cannot be determined. The user is prompted frequently when the application attempts a sensitive operation.

identified_third_party. Intended for MIDlets whose origins were determined using cryptographic certificates. Permissions are not granted automatically, but the user is prompted less often than for the unidentified_third_party domain.

manufacturer. Intended for MIDlet suites whose credentials originate from the manufacturer’s root certificate.

minimum. All permissions are denied to MIDlets in this domain.

maximum. All permissions are granted to MIDlets in this domain. Maximum is the default setting.

The SDK includes four JTWI security domains:

untrusted - Provides a high level of security for applications whose origins and authenticity cannot be determined. The user is prompted frequently when the application attempts a sensitive operation.

trusted - All permissions are granted to MIDlets in this domain.

minimum - All permissions are denied to MIDlets in this domain.

maximum - All permissions are granted to MIDlets in this domain (equivalent to trusted.) Maximum is the default value.
