Applications of Computing in Industry : Lecture

Gandalf wanted to keep the One Ring secret, and safe...

The One Ring...

....could give Sauron great power over its user, and other people

....was a small item, easily lost

...would try to corrupt anyone who used it

...allowed Sauron to sense its presence, even at a great distance

Strangely enough, a modern Mobile Handset....

....can give Bad People great power over its user, and other people

...is a small item, easily lost

...can very easily become corrupt with malware

...allows Bad People to locate, hear and see, you even at a great distance

So this presentation will consider how Mobile Applications can be made secret, and safe....
