Although some form of testing takes place before an app is made available on a mobile app store, the volume of apps storefront operators process is very high, so the depth of app testing or assessment cannot possibly reach the depth of the standard described in this article. The DoD standard described requires strict control over many areas, to include digital signatures from trusted developers, mobile or external code that carries advertising, and the display of warning banners for the user to be notified of such events as the GPS location being transmitted. These items alone serve to illustrate the differences and depth of assessment that would take place between the various mobile app stores and the requirements featured in this paper.
