Enabling cookie encryption of Blink
Cookies store information for login and session between client and server. Unencrypted cookies might give attackers a chance to steal or use the information. In this release, users can use cookie encryption which protects user data from a platform security point of view.
Peripheral Manager service
Peripheral Manager service is a newly introduced service to support various peripheral devices(GPIO, SPI, I2C, and UART). This service makes it easy to control peripheral devices without changing the platform source code. See its API Reference for more details.
ACG enhancements
ACG (Access Control Groups) is security model that provides access control of security permissions for services running on Luna Bus.
In this release,
- Migrate all pending services from the legacy security model.
