The management of privileges associated with certain applications that are accessible by users of electronic equipment, such as networked computers, mobile wireless communications devices. In particular, systems and methods for managing privileges associated with particular applications and for revoking these privileges in a timely and robust manner When policies or application control changes, the system detects which privileges have been revoked for which applications, by comparing the old set of privileges with the new set of privileges. For each revoked privilege, the system determines if the application has ever accessed that privilege in the past, and, if so, the device is reset. To ensure that privileges that may be passed between applications are not overlooked, the device is arranged to perform a reset if any revoked privilege accessible by the device is one that may be passed between applications.

Le présent extrait concerne la gestion des privilèges associés à certaines applications accessibles aux utilisateurs de matériels électroniques, tels que des ordinateurs en réseau ou des dispositifs de communication sans fil mobiles. Plus précisément, le document décrit des systèmes et des méthodes de gestion et de révocation des privilèges associés à des applications spécifiques en temps opportun et de manière fiable. Lorsque des politiques ou un contrôle d'application changent, le système détecte les privilèges qui ont été révoqués et les applications concernées en comparant l'ancien groupe de privilèges avec le nouveau. Pour chaque privilège révoqué, le système détermine si l'application a déjà accédé audit privilège dans le passé et, si c'est le cas, le dispositif est réinitialisé. Pour s'assurer que les privilèges qui pourraient passer entre des applications ne sont pas omis, le dispositif est conçu pour effectuer une réinitialisation lorsqu'un privilège révoqué accessible par le dispositif a pu passer d'une application à l'autre.
