[Meego-architecture] Local Content Protection

[Clark, Joel]

But your most recent answer says "Applications can't do that via any API".

If this is to be supported, then the feature entry needs to include enough detail so that folks other than architect and developer can understand how to make it work.  It's not that clear yet.


regards
Joel

Hi,

Ok, so we just lost 2 architects claiming something about this.
Arjan is the wrong guy to talk to when it comes to security. Speak
to Elena, me, Ryan or Casey. It will be supported in the way I
wrote earlier.
