Valimo Wireless Introduces Dedicated Mobile Signature Client for SIM cards
HELSINKI, Finland – Valimo Wireless has achieved
what the telecom industry has been looking for: a generic, easy-to-
use, secure and feature-rich mobile signature client. With this
client application, located on a SIM card, mobile phone users can
authenticate their identity, as well as approve and digitally sign
content.
“The Valimo Mobile Authentication Client (VMAC) enables mobile
network operators to offer advanced Wireless PKI services with greater
functionality,” comments Petteri Heinonen, Director of Product
Management at Valimo.
The VMAC adds significant value for mobile network operators
and SIM vendors because it:
Is specifically designed for mobile signatures and strong mobile
authentication
Uses state-of-the-art security features, which are already accepted
by the industry
Deploys quickly and easily as a standard SIM card profile
element from SIM vendors
Works with server side systems compliant with the ETSI standard
for Mobile Signature Services (MSS)
The VMAC and Valimo’s other mobile signature applications have been
fine-tuned through extensive feedback from Valimo customers and mobile
network operators.
Key VMAC features include:
‘See-what-you-sign’ module
Capability to sign large documents
Local PIN and PUK management for the signing application
Support for multiple hash algorithms, as well as different digital
key sizes and multiple key pairs
On-board digital key generation
Encrypted communications between the SIM card and the destination
system (i.e. Acquiring MSS-system)
Since the VMAC is SIM, OTA- and mobile signature system- vendor
independent, mobile network operators can now acquire mobile
signature-enabled SIM cards from a variety of sources.
