Embodiments provide methods, devices and computer program arranged to control access to clipboards by applications. In one embodiment a user device comprises: at least one processor; and at least one memory comprising computer program code and an application that has been provisioned by an application provisioning entity, the application having access to a first clipboard of a first type, to which data can be transferred and/or from which data can be retrieved by a further, different, application on the user device, wherein the application is configured with an encryption key for the transfer of data to and/or retrieval of data from a second clipboard of a second, type, clipboard, the encryption key being associated with the application provisioning entity. The user device can control the transfer of data to and/or retrieval of data from the second clipboard by the application via the encryption key.
A user device comprising:
A method of controlling clipboard operations on a user device, the user device comprising an application that has been provided by an application provisioning entity, the application having access to a first clipboard of a first type, to which data can be transferred and/or from which data can be retrieved by a further, different application on the user device, wherein the application is configured with an encryption key for the transfer of data to and/or retrieval of data from a second clipboard of a second, different type, the encryption key being associated with the application provisioning entity, the method comprising:
A computer program comprising a set of instructions, which, when executed by a user device, cause the user device to perform a method of controlling clipboard operations on the user device, the user device comprising an application that has been provided by an application provisioning entity, the application having access to a first clipboard of a first type, to which data can be transferred and/or from which data can be retrieved by a further, different application on the user device, wherein the application is configured with an encryption key for the transfer of data and/or retrieval of data from a second clipboard of a second, different type, the encryption key being associated with the application provisioning entity, the user device comprising a processing system arranged to cause the user device to control the transfer of data to and/or retrieval of data from the second clipboard by the application via the encryption key on the basis of a predetermined criterion.
