BENEFITS OF BONDI

BONDI was created with the clear rational to ensure that developers have a clear way in which they can develop a single web application which can really be executed on multiple platforms, independent of the underlying OS.

BONDI uses web technologies and builds upon them to provide new APIs to the key mobile phone functionality like Contacts, Calendar, Messaging & Location. BONDI seeks to build upon the success which has been seen in the creative deployment of new services in the PC Internet domain, whereby a web application which works in one browser in Linux can also work in a different browser using Windows.

A key benefit of BONDI is the security policy which has been put in place to protect the user from potential abuse. This security policy has been designed to be flexible and meet the requirements of different users and in different countries with different retail and regulatory ecosystems. The security policy is enabled to be remotely controlled over the air. This gives the potential for the user to delegate their security to athird party who they trust and will look after their security. The policy allows many different security constraints to be put in place to protect the user from different types of abuse. Different APIs can be protected in different ways and have more or less restrictions based upon the potential for abuse and the type of risks that either the user or delegated authority is willing to take.

BONDI is becoming a core component of WAC which is coming to market in 2011. If you want to get involved, click here.
