Mobile Operating System

Definition

A Mobile Operating System is the software platform that manages hardware and software resources on portable devices, enabling cryptocurrency applications. This fundamental software layer provides the environment for running applications on smartphones and tablets, including those used for managing digital assets, such as mobile cryptocurrency wallets or exchange interfaces. The security architecture of these systems, including sandboxing, permission models, and update mechanisms, directly impacts the safety of private keys and transactional data. Vulnerabilities within a mobile operating system can expose users to malware, phishing, or unauthorized access to their digital holdings.
