    BONDI (named after Bondi Beach) is an API framework aimed at mobile devices. OMTP launched the BONDI initiative, which defined new interfaces (JavaScript APIs) and a security framework (based on XACML policy description) to enable the access to mobile phone functionality (e.g. camera, location, messaging, persistent data) from a browser or widget engine in a secure way.

    BONDI supports widget-based applications as well as web-based applications.

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    Work on BONDI started in 2008. The first BONDI widget, based on a preliminary version of the 1.0 specification, was shown at Mobile World Congress in February 2009.

    Version 1.0 of the API specification released on June 2, 2009,[2] with a maintenance release (1.01) following on July 30, 2009.[3]

    Version 1.1 of the API was released as stable on February 11, 2010.[4]

    In February 2010, at the Mobile World Congress, the Samsung Wave was released as the first mobile phone to contain BONDI as a built-in API, as part of its bada platform.

    Policies

    [edit | edit source]

    To safeguard users from malicious web applications, BONDI defines a policy layer between the API and the device. Policies can be set on a widget provider level (for signed widgets), on a widget level, or on an API call-by-call level for web pages. Every widget carries a manifest declaring the APIs to be used by that widget, allowing users to install (or deny installation) based on the function the widget intends to use.
