/**
@page Security_arch_overview Symbian OS Security Architecture Overview
\n

The Symbian OS security architecture fundamentally consists of two high level components:

@li Certificate management (certman)

@li Cryptography (cryptalg)

Together these modules/components form the basis of a number of higher level components, which include:

@li Certificate management control panel item (UI to certificate management allowing control of trusted root certificates)

@li Software installation (@ref authentication / @ref digital_signature "digital signatures")

@li Secure comms (@ref SSL / @ref TLS, @ref WTLS, @ref IPSec, etc.)
