Security Goals for the .NET Compact Framework

Future security plans for the .NET Compact Framework may include the following:

Code access security.
A security policy restricted to managed code on the device. However, if the platform continues to support native code, full platform security cannot be achieved.
Custom assembly evidence and field-replaceable security policy.
Custom permission types to help secure planned mobile extensions of the .NET Compact Framework.
Custom permission types introduced by device manufacturers to help secure platform-specific functionality. These custom permissions could be provided in new namespaces that work with the .NET Compact Framework.
