Disclosed is an electronic device comprising: a memory in which instructions are stored; and a processor electrically connected to the memory. The processor, when the instructions stored in the memory are executed: acquires a command for installation of a first application signed with a first key; checks information relating to the first key in a key storage of the electronic device; if the first key is determined to be valid, installs the first application; and if the first key is determined to have been revoked, controls to prohibit installation of the first application.

Method for signing key management by electronic device, and electronic device therefor

An electronic device using a division permission and an operating method thereof are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a processor or a memory storing at least one instruction executable by the processor, and when the at least one instruction is executed by the processor, the processor receives a request for installing a first application on an electronic device, acquires a division permission information corresponding to a signature permission declared by the first application, applies the division permission information to a database, installs the first application. The division permission information may be used for the signature permission on a second application different from the first application.

Electronic device using division permission and operation method thereof

According to various embodiments, an electronic device may include: a touch-sensitive display; a processor operatively connected to the display; and a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory may store instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to: control the display to provide a right setup screen that enables a user to select data which an application is allowed to access among data stored in the memory, receive a read request for the data stored in the memory from the application, select data to be provided to the application among the data stored in the memory based on an access right policy established using the right setup screen, and provide the selected data to the application in response to the read request.
