SafeWID
Web runtime? Web reality!
SafeWID brings Web 2.0 functionality to mobile devices. But it doesn't stop there. SafeWID enables web content to take advantage of your devices' native capabilities such as GPS, motion sensors, and more. Expanding the Mobile Web to enjoy real Web 2.0 content is great. But having Web 2.0 content work with your devices to customize your experience is revolutionary. SafeWID brings this revolution to you today.
How is it done?
SafeWID implements the BONDI specification and acts as a bridge between your device and your browser. BONDI specifies the following aspects of a web runtime:
- Functional requirements and use cases
- Specifications of the JavaScript APIs which allow web applications to access phone device functions
- Security framework for phone device access
- Reference implementation
With a BONDI–enabled phone, users can safely enjoy a more personal and capable web that is enabled by the power of mobility. BONDI provides secure access to the phone's features from mobile widgets and from the Web, making it possible for users to be connected to people, information, and services of their choice, whether through the desktop or their mobile device.
Furthermore, while leveraging the standards of BONDI, SafeWID is dynamically extensible to add new capabilities and features as you need them. You can just add these components and your experience will expand on the fly. No need to upgrade your device or flash a new ROM; it's dynamic. For example, if a widget needs access to your Bluetooth stack to make a Bluetooth connection, this capability can be dynamically downloaded and installed. Now the widget enables the phone to do something it wasn't capable of before.
Is it safe?
Yes. SafeWID's whole aim is to provide richer web applications but maintain a safe browsing environment, where the user is always in control. SafeWID implements a custom security layer and uses Javascript to keep your content and communications safe and secure. It's the whole reason we named is "Safe"WID.
