Symbian OS platform security, introduced in S60 3rd Edition, brings new levels of device and application security to the S60 platform. Basically, the applications which take advantage of the most-secure APIs, will have to apply for the Symbian Signed program, making the overall system much less vulnerable. Of course, many applications will not need platform security capabilities or will use those the customer can grant trust to.
Forum Nokia has launched a new page on Symbian OS security and Symbian Signed program wherefrom you can get all the information you need to make sure your application (in case you’re a developer) meets all the standards and doesn’t hurt the end-user.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
