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."</i><br /><br />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.
