Abstract:
A method modifies an application program to create an augmented application program by including at least one call and a software library in the application program. The at least one call is to a method that forms part of the library. The method further includes, upon receiving a request from an augmented application program resident on the device, registering and authenticating the augmented application program and sending a policy file to the device that is configured to control use of only the augmented application program. Another method receives at a device an application program augmented to include the at least one call and software library. The method further includes launching the application program and sending a registration and authentication request to a server of an enterprise, and receiving from the server a policy file configured for controlling use by the device of only the registered and authenticated augmented application program.
