Abstract
A method of authenticating or controlling a software application on an end user device. The method includes, at the end user device, downloading software application data from a remote server, the data including application code, a cryptographically derived signature obtained using said application code, and an identity of an application developer. The identity is then used as a look-up key to obtain or authenticate a public key of the application data, and to obtain one or more associated installation and/or operation conditions. The cryptographically derived signature is authenticated using said application code and said public key, and, in the event that authentication is successful, authentication of the application code is performed and/or installation and/or operation of the application controlled using said conditions.
