Gemalto Mobile Identity solution enables mobile operators to offer secure and easy access to online services
11 June 2014 - 10:00AM
MOBILE ASIA EXPO -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world
leader in digital security, announces that its LinqUs Mobile ID
platform, compliant with the guidelines set by the GSMA Mobile
Connect initiative, is now available for commercial launch. The
solution allows mobile operators to offer all subscribers an
unprecedented, single means of authentication to online services
using any mobile phone. By removing lengthy registration processes
and password fatigue as sources of frustration, delay and
vulnerability for billions of consumers, the online connection
experience - that does not compromise on security - is now as
simple and straightforward as tapping the 'OK' button displayed on
the handset, or entering a unique personal code.
Also available in Software-as-a-Service mode from Gemalto's
Allynis Services, the Mobile ID solution encompasses three
feature-offers that address all levels of assurance defined by the
GSMA to flexibly comply with the use cases encountered by most
online service providers: simple login for consumer and e-merchant
websites, strong authentication and transaction validation for
enterprises and banks, and legally binding digital signatures for
eGovernment applications. With this improved authentication process
that is readily available for all levels of security required,
online service providers can develop new revenue streams and make
significant savings by boosting conversion rates, reducing fraud
and streamlining their business structures.
Gemalto's LinqUs Mobile ID features work on any handset via
software applications embedded in the SIM card that can be
instantly deployed over-the-air throughout a mobile operator's
existing user base, and are further secured via a dedicated
authentication server. Mobile network operators can further enhance
the infrastructure for their consumer and business clients, by
leveraging Gemalto's Allynis SaaS mode for the fastest possible
time-to-market whilst avoiding upfront investment costs.
"The increasing need for digital identity management is giving
operators the opportunity to become ID providers, leveraging their
key assets: strength of their brand, existing enterprise business
customers, handset qualification process and the ability to reach
the highest security levels with the SIMs they supply to all mobile
subscribers," said Tan Teck-Lee, Executive Vice-President Platforms
& Services at Gemalto. "Strong mobile authentication
exemplifies another compelling use case of the unique security and
versatility we offer to our customers by building client-server
trust infrastructures easily available to billions of handsets of
all generations".
