Super-distribution
DRM mechanism, defined by OMA, that distributes encrypted content over unprotected transport, while receivers can obtain rights objects through separate trusted distributor.
trusted application
Software 'trusted' to abide by a security policy and validated as trustworthy (by its source).
untrusted application
