CAMBRIDGE, England-Monday 25 February 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS
WIRE) -- Mobile cyber security leader Trustonic announced today that it
will expand support to include Huawei’s Trusted Execution Environment
(TEE) on its mobile application security platform, Trustonic Application
Protection (TAP). Until now, TAP has enabled app developers to build
apps secured by both strong application shielding for iOS and Android,
and hardware-based protection for the 1.7 billion Android devices
embedded with Trustonic’s TEE during manufacture. The new multi-TEE
capability will be demonstrated for the first time at MWC19 in
Barcelona, where Trustonic and Huawei will show trusted applications
running on Huawei smartphones utilizing Huawei’s TEE.
Trustonic
is unveiling an expanded partner ecosystem at MWC19, showcasing
solutions that use TAP to enhance protection of apps, services and
sensitive data. Lookout Inc. is demonstrating new mobile threat
detection solutions and In Solutions is exhibiting mobile government ID
apps. In financial services, dejamobile is showcasing its mobile payment
project with top domestic payment card scheme provider Cartes
Bancaires, Alcinéo is presenting its mPOS solutions and Rivetz is
showcasing its blockchain and cryptocurrency security platform.
Trustonic has also announced a project with Volkswagen which is using
TAP to provide advanced protection for VW’s first Digital Key Sharing
app. All Trustonic partners at MWC19 have been part of a program
developing trusted apps which can leverage new TAP functionality,
providing greater protection, flexibility and device coverage.
Ben
Cade, CEO of Trustonic comments, “Our partner Huawei is now the second
largest smartphone manufacturer in the world, shipping over 200 million
devices in 2018 alone. Together, we share a vision that open hardware
security standards will bring simpler, faster and safer mobile
experiences to consumers. Both companies believe that an open,
collaborative and growing ecosystem is the best way to bring better
security features to all participants in the industry and their
end-users. We are jointly committed to independent, fair and transparent
industry security assessments to assure trust in our solutions.”
