Secure Element API: Acces Control

Following the questions raised during last SysApps WG F2F meeting regarding how to restrict the access to the Secure Element API, we prepared a document explaining the solution we propose:
      https://github.com/opoto/secure-element/blob/gh-pages/AccessControl.md
This document is not formatted as a "specification", it is closer to a white paper intended to outline the solution, and explain the why and the how. Please comment so that we can finalize the solution, and integrate it in the Secure Element API draft.

In particular we would appreciate your feedback on the dependency this proposal has on so-called "packaged applications": this packaging is not specified in W3C, will it ever be? This may impact the lookup process for the application signature file proposed in our document.

For now, we propose to reuse the widget signature format. Will this format be maintained in the future, or are there plans to define a JSON format, as it was done for the manifest?

Best Regards,
