Abstract
Methods, articles of manufacture, and apparatus to perform policy configuration for mobile device applications are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes determining whether a digital certificate associated with a application executable on a mobile device has been signed by a first trusted certificate authority, the first trusted certificate authority being included in a list of trusted certificate authorities hard-coded in the mobile device, and when the digital certificate is determined to have been signed by the first trusted certificate authority, configuring the application for execution on the mobile device based on an access privilege indicating a physical interface of the mobile device the application is permitted to access, and execution configuration information associated with the application.
