Abstract:
A client device () of a communication system () includes, for example, a processor () programmed to include a device management tree wherein the processor is operative to receive security policy information (), such as that associated with a non-server entity, such as an application on the device, for example, and updates the device management tree with the received security policy information (). The device management tree is then accessed in response to a security policy access request, such as from a application or other non server entity during runtime of the wireless client device (). As such, not only does the device management tree include external security policy subjects, such as server identities, but different internal security policy subjects are also used to configure a device management tree with suitable security policy enforcement information.
