-<p>End users can install new software from a variety of sources: through

-messages, infrared and Bluetooth connections, PC Suite, and removable memory

-sophisticated system for managing installed software.</p>
-<p>The Symbian <i>Software Installer</i> uses <i>digital signatures</i> and <i>certificates</i> to
-authenticate that the application being installed on a mobile device is from
-a known vendor. The signature can be obtained through the <xref href="https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page" scope="external">Symbian
-Signed</xref> process, and the default certificates installed in the mobile
-device act as root certificates. During installation the signature is validated
-against the certificates. If they match, the application is installed and
-the requested <xref href="GUID-6971B0A2-F79B-4E05-8AF3-BB1FC1932A22.dita">capabilities</xref> are
-stored in the executable, assuming that the root certificate can grant the
-capabilities. Only <i>user capabilities</i> can be granted to unsigned or
-self-signed applications, and these are always confirmed by the user. </p>
-<note>
-<p>The end users have an option to cancel the installation if they detect
-that the vendor of the software package and certificate authority are not
-trustworthy. This is especially important when installing security-related
-components (for example, VPN clients, firewalls and virus scanners) or other
-business-related software.</p>

-<p>The Software Installer ensures that no two applications have the same <xref href="GUID-3B6E25F7-C1A8-461F-97F7-421DB559BC98.dita#GUID-3B6E25F7-C1A8-461F-97F7-421DB559BC98/GUID-EEC50FC0-46D5-4ED7-AD95-67430D5EC652">SID</xref> value

-and all its subfolders, which means that you can write to third-party application
-executables in the <codeph>\sys\bin</codeph> folder when they are installed
-through the Software Installer.</p>
