Nortel and Certicom partner on mobile security
Mobile e-business security provider Certicom has entered into a multilevel licensing agreement with Nortel Networks. Certicom's Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) has been licensed by Nortel to provide a VPN solution for mobile PDA users. Many Nortel products will now include Certicom's SSL Plus, securing the software infrastructure to allow for safe transactions across the Internet and other networks.
Phoenix' client authentication rises above
System-enabling software solution provider Phoenix Technologies has released a client authentication technology that authenticates a PC at power-up and runs throughout the operating system level. Phoenix's client-side technology, the first of its kind, reduces the risk of fraud, unauthorized access or hacking using two factor-authentication technologies.
CopyTele keeps files private
Encryption solution provider CopyTele has released a hardware-based encryption card (Model ULP-1) that plugs into notebook computers. The ULP-1 is the size of a credit card and operates as an encryption/decryption key that protects data files and e-mail attachments from prying eyes. The ULP-1 also guards against the spread of viruses by encrypting e-mail directories. The ULP-1 has been introduced to retail sales outlets as well as commercial end-users. CopyTele has received export approval for the ULP-1 using the Citadel(TM) CCX or Triple DES algorithms and a 128-bit encryption key from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
