High-Performing Security Software is Designed to Reduce Time to Market And
Increase Revenue Opportunities for Device Makers
SAN JOSE, Calif., RSA(R) CONFERENCE, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
RSA Security Inc. (Nasdaq: RSAS), the most trusted name in e-security(R),
today announced the RSA BSAFE(R) Micro Edition product line, a complete
solution for developers building security into embedded and wireless devices.
The RSA BSAFE Micro Edition product line, which includes RSA BSAFE SSL-C Micro
Edition, RSA BSAFE Cert-C Micro Edition and RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition,
helps developers maintain the highest levels of interoperability between the
wired and wireless worlds while securing constrained devices such as mobile
phones, PDAs, new consumer electronic devices and wireless LAN or VoIP
equipment.
Organizations must combat the new set of security threats that evolve with
wireless communications, including cloning, malicious code attacks, lost or
stolen devices, theft of content and denial of service. Using the RSA BSAFE
Micro Edition product line, software and hardware vendors can build products
to overcome these risks in high-performance mobile communications. RSA BSAFE
Micro Edition software is also intended to offer developers the ability to
rapidly add cryptographic security to wireless or embedded products, and
maximize an organization's security investment by ensuring interoperability
with the existing wired infrastructure.
The RSA BSAFE Micro Edition product line is designed to allow vendors to:
-- Build digital signing, digital identity and payment features in one
device.
-- Build secure end-to-end communication channels essential for enterprise
applications.
-- Verify signed software code on the device to reduce the threat of
malicious code attacks.
-- Reduce theft and generate more revenue for services.
A renewed focus on security has centered on the importance of digital
identity. Enterprise customers are looking for products that authenticate
users and provide a bridge between the physical and virtual worlds. Vendors
building next generation mobile solutions for the enterprise can use RSA BSAFE
Micro Edition software to embed security functionality that creates personal
trusted devices with digital signing capabilities.
RSA BSAFE Micro Edition software is also designed to help developers
support industry standards -- WAP, IEEE and IETF -- and alleviate the need to
conduct extensive interoperability testing. By partnering with RSA Security,
organizations can use RSA BSAFE Micro Edition software to help reduce
development costs and help generate revenue by being first to market with
features that deliver a real competitive advantage.
"The RSA BSAFE Micro Edition product line is designed to help developers
overcome the hurdles of memory constraints, performance optimizations, time to
market pressures and the complexities of making robust security fit in an
embedded device," said John Worrall, vice president of product marketing at
RSA Security. "The new product family is based on our experience of working
with customers like Matsushita, Ericsson, Nokia, Phillips, Palm, Thompson,
Sony and Symbian."
