I've argued elsewhere for an encrypted partition instead of having individual userspace programs, but that turned out to be not acceptable for various reasons. > Perhaps the needs of the underlying system/middleware and the needs of > Application level entities are sufficiently different that different > approaches are justified. Indeed, that was also my conclusion. It depends so much on circumstances which are outside of the control of Tizen (hardware capabilities, use cases) that Tizen itself can only provide different alternatives that the actual product team then chooses from. Right now, there is nothing at all as far as I know. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ IVI mailing list [email protected] https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/ivi
