Abstract
To secure the execution of an application on an intelligent mobile telephone, each application is identified by an identifier and a table or rights is associated with each resource on the mobile telephone. Through a table of rights, access rights to the resource can be associated with an application identifier. This makes it possible to manage, for each resource, the applications that are allowed to invoke the resource. Moreover, the rights associated with a resource can only be modified by the owner of the resource.
