Trust Digital Becomes Only Mobile Security Vendor With FIPS 140-2 Validation for Windows Mobile 5 Platform |
|
Trust Digital -- a leading provider of enterprise software solutions for securing smartphones and PDAs -- has expanded its FIPS 140-2 validations to include the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5 platform. Trust Digital is the only mobile security vendor to receive this distinction from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and this brings to 10 the number of FIPS 140-2 validations for the Company.
FIPS 140-2 validations provide federal government and commercial buyers with the assurance that solutions are in compliance with established security standards. The standards cover 11 areas of security requirements for the use of cryptographic modules in security systems that protect sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems. While many vendors assert that they have a FIPS-certified algorithm in their products, this is an easy claim to make because the algorithm is free to download. Trust Digital's solutions instead have received the highly sought "validated implementation" distinction that verifies its solutions have been exhaustively tested in a laboratory by an impartial third-party and validated to be secure.
"For government agencies that need to secure sensitive data on smartphones and PDAs, the FIPS validation provides the assurance that they are choosing a solution that has been rigorously tested and proven to be effective," said Nick Magliato, CEO of Trust Digital. "Given that Trust Digital has received more validations than all other competitors combined, we're quickly becoming the vendor of choice for government agencies."
The FIPS validation program ensures that cryptographic modules are designed, developed, and rolled out using acceptable security practices. Trust Digital software is FIPS validated on all supported platforms (NIST Certificate 475), including:
Palm OS 4.1, 5.2.1, 5.2.1H, 5.4.2, 5.4.5
Pocket PC 3.0, 4.20
Symbian 7.0
MS Smartphone 2002
MS Windows Mobile 5
MS Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone
Windows NT SP6, 2000, XP Pro
