Understanding Windows Mobile Security

Overview

One topic the user really needs to understand when deploying Windows Mobile applications is security. Often, developers spend a lot of time developing and testing their applications on emulators. However, applications that are working perfectly on emulators often break mysteriously on real devices. A large part of this can be attributed to the lack of understanding of the security policies implemented on Windows Mobile devices. In this paper, the user will learn about the security provisioning of Windows Mobile devices and how he or she can provision the own Windows Mobile device using the Device Security Manager (included with Visual Studio 2008).
