Discretix offering chip-level security for mobile devices
Security is becoming increasingly critical for the new breed of multi-use mobile devices. With the release of SDKs (software development kits) for Symbian-, Linux- and Windows Mobile-powered smartphones as well as the Apple iPhone, third-party companies can now develop add-on applications. With Discretix's CryptoCell embedded security present at the chip level, software developers have a "safe sandbox" to play in, free from potential damage to the phone's fundamental systems.
As mobile units are increasingly used as portable computers, with users carrying flash memory to transport personal files and other information, securing all of that storage capacity has become a priority. Discretix CryptoFlash embedded security ensures that flash memory devices for both storage and user authentication are safe from hackers and thieves.
Discretix's mobile security solutions currently furnishes content protection on millions of handsets, flash memory cards and drives, including smartphone models from manufacturers in Europe, Japan the US and Korea. Its technologies are employed in products from Motorola, Marvell, Renesas, SanDisk, Sony Ericsson, Ericsson, NXP, Spansion and CoreLogic, with other numerous agreements in place, according to the company, which noted that it expects to have an IPO in 2009.
