Security

Sony Ericsson will provide service through Ericsson Mobility World which will enable application developers to obtain a certification of their applications from Sony Ericsson. More details will be provided nearer launch time.

Digital certificates are used to classify the status of applications and media that are to be loaded:

Unsigned	No certification or testing :
	• The provider of the application has not been assessed
	• There is no guarantee that the application is from the advertised
	source
	• The application may or may not have been tested to ensure that it
	works well on the P800, but any claims to that effect are not
	independently tested.
Signed &	Both the software vendor and the application have been tested and certified.
Certified	• The application is certified as originating from the named vendor
	• The application has been tested to check compatibility with the P800

End users should select certified applications wherever possible, in order to avoid the risk of a badly written or malicious application creating problems such as deleting data, corrupting the configuration or preventing other applications from operating correctly.

Mobile Operators may choose to factory-customise the P800 such that only certified applications can be loaded.
