-
===Is there a diagram showing the security framework and components?===
+
-
There were some diagrams in the presentation - can we see them.
+
-
 
+
-
===What is "Open Mode" and can it be revoked remotely?===
+
-
Is that the right terminology?
+
-
Essentially can Nokia reach out the the 2nd stage bootloader and  tell it to stop running unsigned kernels.
+
-
Maybe this should be 2 questions.
+
-
 
+
-
===What does closed mode restrict you from doing? Terminal? Root?===
+
-
 
+
-
===How easy is it to switch between Open and Closed modes?===
+
-
 
+
-
Is it so trivial that you would want to and be able to do it several times a day and on the go?
+
-
 
+
-
===Can network operators restrict you switching to Open mode?===
+
-
Like if a device is sim-locked to a particular network, does the device get locked down in closed DRM mode only too? Can you always switch to open mode?
+
-
 
+
-
===How granular is the encryption?===
+
-
If my app creates content in the closed mode can I see it in open mode?
+
-
 
+
-
===Can open applications use the privilege mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===
+
-
 
+
-
===Can open applications use the DRM encryption mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===
+
-
I can see that this could be useful. Maybe.
+
-
 
+
-
===Will community extensions to the kernel (modules) be permitted in Open/Closed modes?===
+
-
I can't see how - which leads to the question: How do community 'enhancements' to the kernel get adopted?
+
-
 
+
-
===Is there any GPLv3 software impacted?===
+
-
Please have a license discussion somewhere and let us know when you have consensus.
+
-
What is Nokias position? Peter made a statement at the talk - can someone transcribe it and/or get Nokia to clarify.
+
-
 
+
-
===What exactly is available to the end user?===
+
-
 
+
-
* storage encryption ?
+
-
* PIM data encryption ?
+
-
* encrypted/signed communications (phone, sms/mms, mails, IM) ?
+
-
 
+
-
=== How does closed mode affect on-device debugging? ===
+
-
 
+
-
For example, will ptrace(2) still work (eg gdb, strace & ltrace)?  Will we be able to produce code dumps?
+
-
 
+
-
===Will DRM-free data and DRM-free applications be accessible from both modes once they're installed/created in either of the two modes?===
+
-
 
+
-
E.g.: I start in DRM-mode, install DRM-free applications from Extras, take 3 pictures, add some contacts. Then I switch to DRM-free mode: Will I be able to run the applications installed in DRM-free mode, view and edit my contacts and view and edit my own pictures? (And the other way round, of course, starting from DRM-free mode and switching to DRM afterwards.)
+
-
 
+
-
===What is open mode good for at all?===
+
-
 
+
-
Provided you don't consume digitally restricted media and don't purchase applications that in any way rely on DRM: You don't need DRM-mode then, but on the other hand why would you want DRM-free mode? What is it you cannot do in DRM-mode in such a scenario?  Use case?
