Nokia Maemo Security

Maemo is Nokia’s new Linux-based software platform for mobile phones and tablet computers, etc, so I was interested to see this post entitled Maemo Security – Lockdown or Liberation? by an open source developer involved with the device. There was this interesting section:
At the Maemo2009 Summit Nokia shared a great deal of information about the security mechanisms that would be available and/or mandated in upcoming platforms.
The concepts outlined include well established favourites in the OSS world (like privilege management) as well as some that are rather less well regarded – such as relatives of the Trusted Computing Platform and DRM.
This is getting close to my field of interest, so please understand that it would be best that I do not comment on this. I have put this post in the MTM category, but that is just because the subject matter is mobile devices and trusted platforms; it is not a comment on what the "relatives of the Trusted Computing Platform and DRM" actually might be.
