			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Android&#8217;s security team have <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-10020274-83.html">asked security experts to &#8216;ethically hack&#8217; their platform </a>and report back privately on what they find. I think this is a smart approach but how they&#8217;ll get much of what they find resolved in time for the upcoming HTC Dream release will be interesting.</p>
<p>I think that it will be interesting to compare security on the different platforms given the the &#8216;openness&#8217; of Android relative to closed platforms such as the iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Mobile and Symbian. Although the iPhone is a closed platform it is generally <a href="http://www.computerworlduk.com/technology/mobile-wireless/personal-tech/news-analysis/index.cfm?articleid=1470">not considered secure enough</a> for most enterprises to embrace it yet. This is perhaps reinforced by the simplicity of the <a href="http://gizmodo.com/5042332/huge-security-iphone-flaw-puts-all-private-information-at-risk">latest password hack</a> for the iPhone.</p>
<p>Blackberry is generally considered secure (if you enforce the appropriate policies) with the <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/22/blackberry_vuln_patch/">occasional hiccup</a>(!). Windows Mobile is becoming more security conscious with each release and at least has the concept of signing applications as does Symbian.</p>
