certgate to port microSD-based smartcard security into Symbian OS – for the first time on Nokia phones

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrint

Nuremberg-based IT security company certgate has announced that its SmartCard microSD will from now on also support business cell phones with Symbian operating systems. This development will allow users of Nokia phones a way to protect their digital identity with hardware certificates.

At Mobile World Congress 2010, certgate will be presenting the very first use cases of the certgate Mobile SmartCard Suite on the Symbian platform - including secure certificate-based web access via SSL, and authentication via VPN gateways using the Nokia Mobile VPN client.

The certgate Mobile SmartCard technology provides cryptographic features for mobile devices with a microSD slot. Its secret is the unique certgate SmartCard microSD - a full-value smartcard in the form of a microSD flash memory card. The card has a certificate store, a random generator, and can also generate key pairs.

"The porting of our Mobile SmartCard technology into the Symbian world gives Nokia business phone users the opportunity to store tamper-proof digital certificates and use them for various cell phone applications without an external card reader", explains Dr. Paschalis Papagrigoriou, CEO of the certgate GmbH. "Thus certgate provides a solution for the most important mobile operating systems for business communication - Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Symbian. This year we will expand the Mobile SmartCard Suite to support Android phones (Google Phone)."

The present solution for Symbian supports S50 3rd Edition, FP 1 and 2, and has been successfully tested on devices of the E-series (E63, E71, E72, E75). certgate also offers a development kit which helps application developers to create own applications and make adaptations based on the certgate API and standardized interfaces.

certgate is going to present the certgate Smart Card microSD at the international GSMA Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, 15 - 18 February 2010.
