Gemalto announced the availability of its SafeNet MobilePKI solution, designed to enable the particularly strong PKI-based authentication and security applications on any device, including those without a USB port or internal reader. SafeNet MobilePKI uses Bluetooth Smart technology to enable mobile devices to communicate securely with PKI smartcards.
PKI is one of the most secure trusted security infrastructures today. However, mobile devices are not equipped with the USB ports or smartcard slots which were required to implement the strong PKI technology until now. Gemalto has developed this Bluetooth Smart solution to allow IT departments and organizations to extend the use of PKI credentials to mobile devices, including iOS, Android and Windows.
“As mobility becomes increasingly paramount to the success of enterprises, the requirements for secure devices for authentication and digital signatures are becoming greater,” said François Lasnier, SVP for identity protection at Gemalto. “SafeNet MobilePKI solution solves the gap of PKI security on mobile devices.”
