Security Configuration Manager Powertoy for Windows Mobile 5
"Device Security Manager helps developers test various security policies for Windows Mobile devices. It is designed as a desktop application that ships w ith a preset list of 'security configurations'. A security configuration can be thought of as a template, which contains a collection of individual policies and settings. For example, a security configuration could define policies such as whether unsigned applications are allowed to execute, whether RAPI is disabled etc. Using this tool, the developer can provision a Windows Mobile device with different configurations, and then test the application�s behavior under these configurations. This tool can be used either on an emulator or an unlocked Windows Mobile device."
This tool was supposedly unveiled at MEDC 2006 this year and according to the credited Windows Mobile team blog site, it should allow you to better understand the security configuration on your Windows Mobile 5 device. Amongst other things, you can see the current security configuration / certificates, view policies / certificates that come with standard configurations, file signatures, and provision development certificates or standard security configurations to your device (assuming you have the proper rights). Check it out and let us know what you think.

More them a Security System I would call it a "Money Making System".
This System gives OEM full control of your phone or WM5 pocket PC giving them the right to decide what can be installed in Your phone. Users can only buy the programs sold by the Phone OEM or those programs that the author as paid OEM huge amount of money for the "permit" to install his programs in that OEM phones.
The last year Dell released the x51v where they applied the so called "One tier Security Model" where
- User is prompt every time a program is installed asking for authorization
User is prompted every time a "unsigned" program is created for the first time
RAPI access is not allowed
As result, applications like SE_VGA can not be executed in that device.
