Popis: Today, most smartphones feature different kinds of secure hardware, such as processor-based security extensions (e.g., TrustZone) and dedicated secure co-processors (e.g., SIM-cards or embedded secure elements). Unfortunately, secure hardware is almost never utilized by commercial third party apps, although their usage would drastically improve security of security critical apps. The reasons are diverse: Secure hardware stakeholders such as phone manufacturers and mobile network operators (MNOs) have full control over the corresponding interfaces and expect high financial revenue; and the current code provisioning schemes are inflexible and impractical since they require developers to collaborate with large stakeholders.
