Symbian Signed is the mobile industry endorsed certification program that
promotes best practise in designing applications to run on Symbian OS
phones. Symbian Signed applications follow industry agreed quality
guidelines and support network operator requirements for applications and
content. The program was created to satisfy the mobile industry's demand for
reduced fragmentation and cost to developers by providing the community with
a single generic certification program that all parties can benefit from.
Symbian Signed provides a single signing scheme that can be used as an
alternative to many of the individual schemes, reducing the cost and
complexity of getting applications to market.
