Friday, November 13, 2009

GOTrust Technology Inc. and i-Sprint Innovations have announced they will be demonstrating the ready to ship One-Device-Security Solution.

Built on the combined technologies of GO-Trust and i-Sprint this is security from the phone to the back-office. It is a solution for mobile PKI, One Time Passwords, VPN, secure SMS and out-of-band requirements, overcoming security vulnerabilities such as Man-In-The-Middle-Attacks and Real-Time Phishing. Now a phone can work securely with multiple delivery channels such as e-Commerce, m-Commerce, ATM/Kiosks and over-the-counter transactions.


The companies have entered into an alliance partnership where GO-Trust will provide the client-side technology and i-Sprint will provide the back-office technology and integration. They are looking for resellers specializing in the banking, government and enterprise security solutions.

GO-Trust provides security solutions built into microSD modules that can be inserted in most mobile phones, smart phones or PDAs. The microSD client side applications for One-Device-Security Solution developed by GO-Trust include mobile OTP, mobile VPN and PKI enabled secure SMS.

The system is compatible with most devices that support SD and microSD. It does not require any additional drivers and can include up to eight gigabytes of user available flash memory.

i-Sprint provides the device-agnostic AccessMatrix Universal Authentication Server for back-office user validation and transaction authorization. i-Sprint’s bank-graded Universal Authentication Server provides a granular administration delegation model, flexible token management features and fine-grained authorization framework. The AccessMatrix backend server provides the solid framework for the total solution and simplifies security operations and application integration. [end]
