-Application framework
-=====================
-
-Foreword
---------
-
-This document describes application framework fundamentals.
-FCF (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development.
-It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.
-
-Overview
---------
-
-The application framework on top of the security framework
-provides components to install and uninstall applications
-as well as to run them in a secured environment.
-
-The goal of the framework is to manage applications and hide security details
-to applications.
-
-For the reasons explained in introduction, it was choose not to reuse Tizen
-application framework directly, but to rework a new framework inspired from Tizen.
-
-fundamentals remain identical: the applications are distributed
-in a digitally signed container that should match widget specifications
-normalized by the W3C. This is described by the technical
-recommendations [widgets] and [widgets-digsig] of the W3 consortium.
-
-As today this model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications
-but it could be extended to any other class of applications.
-
-The management of widget package signatures.
-Current model is only an initial step, it might be extended in the
-future to include new feature (ie: incremental delivery).

-Comparison to other frameworks

-
-organization of directory of applications
-=========================================
-
-The main path for applications are: APPDIR/PKGID/VER.
-
-Where:
-
- - APPDIR is as defined above
- - PKGID is a directory whose name is the package identifier
- - VER is the version of the package MAJOR.MINOR
-
-The advantage of such an organization is to allow several versions to live together.
-This is required for multiple reasons (ie: roll back) and to comply with developers habits.
-
-Identity of installed files
----------------------------
-
-All the files are installed as user "userapp" and group "userapp".
-All files have rw(x) for user and r-(x) for group and others.
-
-This allows any user to read files.
-
-
-labeling the directories of applications
------------------------------------------
-
-
-organization of data
-====================
-
-The data of a user are contain within its directory and are labeled using the application labels
-
-Setting Smack rules for the application
-=======================================
-
-For Tizen, the following rules are set by the security manager for each application.
-
- System ~APP~ rwx
- System ~PKG~ rwxat
- System ~PKG~::RO rwxat
- ~APP~ System wx
- ~APP~ System::Shared rxl
- ~APP~ System::Run rwxat
- ~APP~ System::Log rwxa
- ~APP~ _ l
- User ~APP~ rwx
- User ~PKG~ rwxat
- User ~PKG~::RO rwxat
- ~APP~ User wx
- ~APP~ User::Home rxl
- ~APP~ User::App::Shared rwxat
- ~APP~ ~PKG~ rwxat
- ~APP~ ~PKG~::RO rxl
-
-Here, ~PKG~ is the identifier of the package and ~APP~ is the identifier of the application.
-
-What user can run an application?
-=================================
-
-Not all user are able to run all applications.
-How to manage that?
