SANTA CLARA, Calif.-Wireless enabling technology developer JP Systems Inc. and e-commerce security provider Certicom Corp. have expanded their relationship to enhance JP System’s SureWave platform with Certicom’s WTLS Plus security technology.
As part of the agreement, JP Systems will embed Certicom’s MobileTrust Certificate Authority root certificate in the SureWave platform for Palm Inc. personal digital assistants. Certicom said inclusion of its root enables the use of Public Key Infrastructure to provide a high level of security for consumers who engage in wireless transactions such as stock trading, wagering and banking and for enterprises that need secure mobile access to e-mail messages or corporate data.
JP Systems will also integrate Certicom’s Elliptic Curve Cryptography technology and MobileTrust digital certificates into their SureWave platform.
