Abstract
Management server 16 may obtain application programs from content server 20 in response to requests of mobile terminal 11. Management server 16 may transmit the obtained application programs to mobile terminal 11 with information concerning reliabilities of the application programs. After mobile terminal 11 receives the application programs from management server 16, mobile terminal 11 manages operations of the application programs. Operations of the application programs are coordinated with operations of other programs using the information concerning the reliabilities corresponding to the application programs. Management of the coordinated operations of the application programs avoids problems concerning information security, where valuable information may be distributed unexpectedly because of operations of low reliable application programs. As a result, convenience of users of mobile terminals 11 can be improved without deteriorating the information security of mobile terminals 11.

138. A program management system for management of an application that is executable on a mobile terminal, the program management system comprising:
-
a server having a control unit that is configured to control receipt of an application that is destined for a mobile terminal, wherein the control unit is also configured to control operation of a cryptographic key storing unit and an application information storing unit included in the server; wherein the cryptograph key storing unit is configured to store a secret key of the server and a public key of the mobile terminal that is receivable by the server; and wherein the control unit is configured to first direct encryption of a received application with the public key of the mobile terminal and then direct encryption of the application with the secret key prior to transmission of the application for receipt by the mobile terminal.
