Mmm... but I think we all agree that a security framework is needed. What will 
it be, then?

In your mail from March 7th, you announced that the long term focus for the 
MeeGo security would be end-user privacy. To me, that also means having the 
means for a process which "owns" some of the user data to establish the identity 
of another process which requests access to the said data. IMHO, this is 
something that MSSF is doing very well in Harmattan, so I hope that this 
possibility will also come to MeeGo.

Without this, you basically cannot give different access rights to applications 
which are coming from a trusted origin (such as the device manufacturer or an 
approved application store) and applications coming from the community.

Ciao,
