Abstract
For increased security, a source is determined for software to be installed on a computing device. In one approach, an application identifier is received from the computing device for an application to be installed. A source identifier of the application is determined. The application identifier and the source identifier are sent over a network to a server. A first state designation for the first application is received from the server. The first state designation represents a trusted state or an untrusted state. In response to receiving the first state designation, a second state designation is set. The second state designation is sent to the computing device.
