GO-Trust Launches Smart Card Solution for Mobile Phones, PDAs

(Product News, 2 Apr 2008)

GO-Trust Inc. has developed new technology that enables manufacturers and developers of smart cards and smart card-based security solutions to offer their applications on any mobile device that accepts an SD standard, mini or micro memory card, without any modification of the mobile device. The GO-Trust SD Solution is targeted at cell phones, PDAs, notebook PCs, tablet PCs, mobile TVs, portable ultrasound units, digital cameras, digital camcorders, MP3/MP4 players, digital picture frames, GPS, and graphing calculators, among others.

Using the GO-Trust proprietary security/flash controller, firmware and a specially developed multi-platform SDK, existing applications can run unchanged in a mobile device and call the security module embedded in the SD memory just as if it was a regular sized smart card inserted in a USB card reader attached to a PC. In many cases the application can reside in the flash memory and be auto loaded as soon as the SD memory is inserted, making the operation totally transparent to the user.
