The mobile operating system must protect the confidentiality of the provisioning data downloaded to the handheld device during a trusted over-the-air (OTA) provisioning session.

| Description |
|---|
| Provisioning data may be sensitive and therefore must be adequately protected. An adversary within the general proximity of the mobile device can eavesdrop on OTA transactions, making them particularly vulnerable to attack if confidentiality protections are not in place. Proper use of cryptography provides strong assurance that provisioning data is protected against confidentiality attacks. |
