Summary

In this last chapter of the book, you learned about the facilities that the Windows Phone platform provides to secure data in transit and on devices, as well as how Windows Phone imposes a set of rigorous tests to confirm the identity of the application developer and ensure that the applications in the Windows Phone Marketplace don't contain malicious code. You also looked at making your code unreadable, or obfuscated, to tools like ildasm.exe and Reflector. Windows Phone also provides security for the device itself, giving users the ability to find or call the phone remotely, and erase all data from the phone remotely. Windows Phone has already implemented a strong set of security features, and those features will only get more and more comprehensive as time passes.
