MINDCEP Platform has defined a set of hardware and software components to build developer modules offering different levels of security, supporting transactions from SMS and WAP. MINDCEP Platform builds on strong security modules and applies them to the hardware and software architectures to define a trusted execution environment that protects the device both at boot time and during runtime.

These components function together to limit the potential damage from malicious applications and to enable a rich set of security services. In addition, MINDCEP Platform has defined a protocol that allows the security state of a developer module to be shared with other modules in the network, enabling device level trust to be extended into the larger network.

" MINDCEP Platform provides a new foundation for mobile application development," said Andrew, Executive Director and Chief Technology Officer of Nextnation. "The goal of our research was to provide an open and secure architecture, for future wireless data services."

"This collaboration directly enhances handheld architectures to provide the trusted capabilities vital for widespread adoption of mobile commerce and enterprise usage," said Andrew.

With its updated and enhanced look, MINDCEP Platform 2.0 enables industry partners to create applications and solutions that provide mobile information workers with more efficient and secure access to information.
