secureid

secureid secureid

This keyword specifies the secure identifier of the executable.

Each executable contains a secure identifier, which is guaranteed to be locally unique (i.e. in the phone where it is installed).

The secure identifier (SID) may be used when verifying an executable's rights of access to system resources. It is also used to form the path name for an executable's private data area.

The secureid need not be explicitly specified in the .mmp file, but if it is omitted, then the value of the UID3, specified elsewhere in the .mmp file, is used. If the UID3 is not specified, then the secureid will take the value KNullUID.

For details on how it is possible to use this with platform security, see Symbian OS Guide/Platform security/Symbian OS v9.0 Security Architecture.
