Abstract
A computer-implemented method for managing application program access to a protected resource residing on a mobile device is provided. The method includes receiving from an application program a request for a permission to access the protected resource, and receiving from a source external to the mobile device an authentication of the application program. An authorization to provide the permission to access the protected resource is received and permission to access the protected resource is provided to the application program in response to receiving the authorization. Data produced by the protected resource is cryptographically signed, and a notification is generated in response to at least one of the application program requesting the permission to access the protected resource and the application program accessing the protected resource. A system for managing application program access to a protected resource residing on a mobile device is further provided.
