Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for deploying applications to end point devices. The applications are obtained from a marketplace that checks the applications and packages them for endpoint use according to certain policies. Packaging an application includes compiling or assembling and linking the application, possibly with a framework and possibly with a binding token, which can be a device binding token and/or a user binding token. The application is loaded onto an endpoint device and if the application is bound to the device and the user is allowed to use the application, the application is enabled to be used on the endpoint device. A gateway between the endpoint device and an authentication server helps to authenticate the user. The gateway also manages data transfers between the endpoint device and a data server according to a selected protocol.
