According to a press release, Entrust will be a premier reseller of the recently launched Nokia Activ Signet Solution for secure mCommerce to Entrust’s enterprise Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) customers which could include, for example, banks brokerage houses, and insurance companies.
Nokia Activ Signet Solution will include secure mobile transactions with user-friendly enrollment and authentication. The new Nokia solution will be based on open standards and technologies, including WAP specification 1.2, WIM (Wireless Identity Module) and Wireless PKI. The Nokia Activ Signet Solution has been integrated with Entrust toolkits and tested for interoperability with Entrust products, so today’s announcement represents a natural extension of the companies’ relationship.
Inarguably, security is one of the main concerns in extending Internet banking and eCommerce transactions to the mobile world, said Richard Kirk, vice president and general manager, Global Wireless Solutions, Entrust Technologies. We believe the collaboration between Entrust and Nokia undoubtedly will accelerate the growth of mobile applications specifically in the area of mobile financial transactions, he added.
