India's government is pushing a radical security framework that WOULD force smartphone manufacturers to surrender proprietary source code for review. The proposed "Indian Telecom Security Assurance Requirements" bundle 83 new standards aimed at curbing cyber threats in the world's second-largest mobile market.

Apple and Samsung are mounting behind-the-scenes opposition, arguing the mandate lacks global precedent and jeopardizes trade secrets.
