Abstract
Apparatus and methods for balancing public and personal security needs in a computing device (1). In an apparatus embodiment, the device (1) has two partitions: a first partition (310) in which only applications (312) authorized by a protected application approval entity can execute; and a second partition (205, 210) in which applications that execute are accessible by an authorized external access entity (500). Coupled to the partitions (310, 205, 210) are protection modules (215, 250, 290) configured to protect data used by applications (312) authorized to execute in the first partition (310), and to prevent even authorized external access entities (500) from accessing protected data used by applications (312) authorized to execute in the first partition (310).
