RSA Security and Palm have announced a technology alliance that will enhance the security of the Palm OS platform and Palm Powered devices through the use of RSA BSAFE encryption software.
By selecting RSA Security as its security provider for future versions of the Palm OS, Palm reinforces to its customers that it is supplying solutions that are designed to ensure data integrity and privacy for transactions conducted via Palm Powered handheld and mobile devices.
Through this alliance, RSA Security and Palm will enable enterprises to protect their current investments with a trusted security architecture that is designed to seamlessly interoperate with both wired and wireless networks. Organisations are not only looking for enterprise applications that give their customers and mobile workers access to confidential information, they are also seeking the confidence that personal information, business-critical data and other transactions will remain secure. RSA BSAFE encryption software satisfies the performance requirements of constrained environments, while helping ensure seamless interoperability with the existing Internet infrastructure.
RSA Security also enables all Palm Powered devices to function as RSA SecurID authenticators, eliminating the need for users to carry separate hardware tokens. Used in conjunction with RSA ACE/Server authentication management software, RSA SecurID authenticators help ensure that only authorised users gain access to network files, applications and communications.
"The Palm OS and devices combined with RSA Security`s encryption, user authentication and transaction security capabilities creates a new step in mobile devices for e-business applications," said Peter Burgess, territory manager: sub-Saharan Africa at RSA Security. "As the world`s leading authentication provider, RSA Security is committed to providing organisations with trusted authentication and encryption solutions to securely access applications in both wireless and wired environments."
