What is the SML?
The Secure Mobile Launcher is based on the version of the Portable Launcher developed by John T. Haller, John Urbanek et al that was used in the Portable Thunderbird with Enigmail/GnuPG (PTEG) 1.0.7 distribution. The Secure Mobile Launcher is designed to have much the same functionality as the Portable Thunderbird Launcher version 1.1.0.0, but with a strong focus on implementing security processes. It does this in several ways:
- It has verbose comments in the code designed to clearly identify what each section is for, reducing possible errors or oversight.
- All the instances of multiple path seeks (looking in more than one directory for something) are removed.
- New code has been introduced to link to Leafy (LFE), a profile encryption script.
The Secure Mobile Launcher is designed to power the Mobility Email client, and is released under the GNU GPL. You can find a copy of the source code in the main Mobility Email client source package on our development pages.
