Tizen is taking security very seriously. We are using the Smack Linux Security Module to provide mandatory access control. We are taking a very aggressive stance with regard to keeping system services protected. There is unlikely to be a hardened version of Tizen simply because we are creating a hard system by design. It is our intention that Tizen will be more secure than the alternatives, even those that have been augmented to meet special needs. There will always be debates about which security scheme is best and where the line between security and user experience should be drawn. There isn't an objective security measure, so there will be a component of personal judgment in any comparison. By putting security into the initial architecture we believe that Tizen will compare well with any other system in the marketplace.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sven Ruin Sent: Monday, January 06, 2014 9:45 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Tizen General] Tizen security To the Tizen community, As you may know, some find it hard to see what Tizen has to recommend over existing products. I'm not yet familiar with Tizen, but think one of the most important advantages that Tizen could hopefully bring is a higher level of security. Therefore I wanted to ask if Tizen will really be much more secure than other alternatives, in particular Android, even if Tizen will one day capture a large market share? For background information, see for example F-Secure's Mobile Threat Report Q3 2013 on http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/labs_global/whitepapers/reports. Best regards, Sven Ruin
