Carbide C++ security features

[aladin3006]

I am interested with the security problems related to C++ applications developped for Symbian OS. I would like to get some help o the Carbide Express C++ v1.1 security features that can be deplyed to enhance security in mobile applications

Do you mean that you're interested in DRM and copy protection, to protect code against piracy? Or that you're interested in Symbian's Platform Security and want more information about the tools Carbide provides to help you work with it? The post on this blog discusses them in brief (http://blogs.s60.com/creatingcarbide...duct_feat.html) but it would be good to know what information you want, in some more detail, so you get the answers you need.

I'm interested in cryptographic capacity and keys generation and management offered by carbide C++.

None whatsoever (except for generating signed installation packages), because Carbide.c++ is just a bunch of build tools, an Eclipse based IDE.

The APIs you can use in your own code comes from the SDKs, not Carbide.

In the case of Symbian/S60 SDKs, the public SDKs do not have cryptographic libraries (due to some UK and US export laws and treaties). You can get them if you're a Symbian Platinum partner and Symbian OS licensee.

However, you could look into what's provided in the "Open C" package:
