[QUOTE="db89, post: 2022157, member: 374526"] A platform which establishes trust and verifies the identity and veracity of pretty much anything anyone does with a modern device whether that be comnunicating across the Internet or executing third party code. The system annoyingly provides for service owners to prove they are who they say they are. Unimportant things like your banks' website and/or apps, online shopping, services which use or contain personal or sensitive data (finance, health, social media etc.), authentication for websites and services you may wish to use such as a diabetes forum. Really quite a stupid invention all told - imagine the fun we could have filling out payment details for that TV on offer and not knowing if the information was transferred to Argos/Amazon/Currys etc. to process the order or some bad lad in Wolverhampton who is about to process your credit card details for sale on the dark web. I know the comment was flippant but people are likely to read this and be annoyed that some bloody security thing has temporarily incovenienced them and they should get rid of things like that because they just want their bloody apps to work without having to do things that keep themselves and the platform they're using secure because it'll never happen to them, ..right? Apple is in a bit of a tough one - do they ignore rampant abuse of their enterprise certificate scheme by a major platform and get dragged through the mud by the press for allowing widespread data harvesting like that to occur on their platform (which as a company they've always strongly opposed) or do they be seen to respond and reassure the vast majority of their customers by cracking down on such abuse with some collateral damage and upset a minority of users with edge cases of useful functionality? I can foresee a future where Google decides 'sod the risk' of continuing to allow app sideloading on Android on the same device [URL=https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/10/android-protected-confirmation.html?m=1]where you might pay for goods and services or make medical decisions[/URL].
