Abstract:
1. A method for limiting access to and/or the understanding of resources or capabilities of an interoperability application package and or resources or capabilities of a plurality of interoperability devices so that a first interoperability device is permitted to access or prohibited from accessing the second interoperability device from the plurality of interoperability devices, the method comprising: (1) executing or attempting to execute an executable device interoperability software application package conforming to an interoperability format of digitally encoded data, code and content, that is completely self-contained and sufficient to carry out an intended purpose of the interoperability software application on a plurality of connected or intermittently connected devices, the executable device interoperability software application package including security features that permit and limit access to and or an understanding of resources or capabilities of the interoperability application package and/or resources or capabilities of the interoperability devices when executed; (2) during the execution of the interoperability software application package, forming a basis for security including the following steps: (3) forming rules for allowing or preventing the limiting access; (4) using the formed basis and formed rules to provide a security task at least for the device; and (5) limiting access to and/or the understanding of resources or capabilities of the interoperability application package and/or resources or capabilities of the plurality of interoperability devices so that the first interoperability device is permitted to access or prohibited from accessing the second interoperability device.
