-	~~Suggested questions:~~	+	== This is now at [[Talk:Maemo security]] ==
-		+
-	==~~=Is there a diagram showing the security framework and components?===~~	+
-	~~There were some diagrams in the presentation - can we see them.~~	+
-		+
-	~~===What~~ is ~~"Open Mode" and can it be revoked remotely?===~~	+
-	~~Is that the right terminology?~~	+
-	~~Essentially can Nokia reach out the the 2nd stage bootloader and tell it to stop running unsigned kernels.~~	+
-	~~Maybe this should be 2 questions.~~	+
-		+
-	~~===What does closed mode restrict you from doing? Terminal? Root?===~~	+
-		+
-	~~===How easy is it to switch between Open and Closed modes?===~~	+
-		+
-	~~Is it so trivial that you would want to and be able to do it several times a day and on the go (without restart)?~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Can network operators restrict you switching to Open mode?===~~	+
-	~~Like if a device is sim-locked to a particular network, does the device get locked down in closed DRM mode only too? Can you always switch to open mode?~~	+
-		+
-	~~===How granular is the encryption?===~~	+
-	~~If my app creates content in the closed mode can I see it in open mode?~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Can open applications use the privilege mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Can open applications use the DRM encryption mechanisms in the Open and Closed modes?===~~	+
-	~~I can see that this could be useful. Maybe.~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Will community extensions to the kernel (modules) be permitted in Open/Closed modes?===~~	+
-	~~I can't see how - which leads to the question: How do community 'enhancements' to the kernel get adopted?~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Is there any GPLv3 software impacted?===~~	+
-	~~Please have a license discussion somewhere and let us know when you have consensus.~~	+
-	~~What is Nokias position? Peter made a statement~~ at ~~the talk - can someone transcribe it and/or get Nokia to clarify.~~	+
-		+
-	~~===What exactly is available to the end user?===~~	+
-		+
-	* storage encryption ?	+
-	* PIM data encryption ?	+
-	* encrypted/signed communications (phone, sms/mms, mails, IM) ?	+
-		+
-	~~=== How does closed mode affect on-device debugging? ===~~	+
-		+
-	~~For example, will ptrace(2) still work (eg gdb, strace & ltrace)? Will we be able to produce code dumps?~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Will DRM-free data and DRM-free applications be accessible from both modes once they're installed/created in either of the two modes?===~~	+
-		+
-	~~E.g.~~: I start in DRM-mode, install DRM-free applications from Extras, take 3 pictures, add some contacts. Then I switch to DRM-free mode: Will I be able to run the applications installed in DRM-free mode, view and edit my contacts and view and edit my own pictures? (And the other way round, of course, starting from DRM-free mode and switching to DRM afterwards.)	+
-		+
-	~~===What is open mode good for at all?===~~	+
-		+
-	Provided you don't consume digitally restricted media and don't purchase applications that in any way rely on DRM: You don't need DRM-mode then, but on the other hand why would you want DRM-free mode? What is it you cannot do in DRM-mode in such a scenario? Use case?	+

-	~~===What is ARM's TrustZone?===~~	+
-		+
-	~~===Can the Trusted Execution Environment (TrEE) be used as a kill switch for the device even if it runs in open mode?=~~==	+
