METHOD FOR APPLICATION SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957260 titled 'METHOD FOR APPLICATION SECURITY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR PERFORMING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method and electronic device for application security. Here are the key points:

  • The electronic device has a memory and a processor.
  • The processor executes computer-executable instructions stored in the memory.
  • When installing an application on the device, the processor records the source type of the application.
  • The processor then determines if the application is untrusted based on its source type.
  • If the application is untrusted, the processor performs one or more security functions set for untrusted applications.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Enhancing security measures for electronic devices.
  • Protecting against malware and unauthorized applications.
  • Preventing data breaches and unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensuring the safety and integrity of applications installed on electronic devices.
  • Mitigating the risk of downloading and using untrusted applications.
  • Safeguarding against potential security threats and vulnerabilities.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved application security and protection against malicious software.
  • Enhanced user privacy and data protection.
  • Reduced risk of unauthorized access and potential damage to the device or data.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for application security and an electronic device for performing the method are provided. The electronic device includes a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions and at least one processor configured to execute the instructions by accessing the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to, in response to the instructions being executed by the at least one processor, record a source type of an application based on the source type of the application when installing the application on the electronic device, determine whether the application corresponds to an untrusted application based on the source type of the application, and in response to the application corresponding to an untrusted application, perform one or more of security functions set for the untrusted application.
