STAR @ RHIC is cross-platform application, available for Web, Android, WinPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, which provides a convenient aggregated access to various STAR Online tools, publicly available at STAR collaboration website(s).
STAR @ RHIC is the HTML5 app, packaged for Android platform using Crosswalk, a HTML application runtime, optimized for performance (ARM+x86 packages, ~50 MB installed). Crosswalk project was founded by Intel's Open Source Technology Center. Alternative packaging (Android universal, ~5 MB, WinPhone ~5 MB) is done via PhoneGap build service, which is not hardware-dependent, as it does not package any html engine, but it could be affected by system updates. Desktop OS packaging is done using NodeWebKit (NW.js) software.
Security: This application requires STAR protected password to function (asks user at start). All data transmissions are protected by Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption.
Note: sorry iOS users (iPhone, iPad) - Apple is very restrictive and does not allow to package or install applications using self-signed certificates. While there is a technical possibility to make iOS package of the application, it will cost ~$100/year to buy iOS developer access which includes certificate.
