Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) has launched its Mobile Security Card, which is designed for use with the new generation of mobile devices that run under the Android operating system.
The new Mobile Security Card, which employs the microSD format and is equipped with a smart card chip, can serve as a high-security platform for a wide variety of mobile applications.
Users authenticate themselves by means of a two-factor process and, if successful, are then granted access to the protected applications.
A further advantage of the Mobile Security Card is its ability to serve as a highly secure platform for a multitude of mobile applications including online
banking, secure access to corporate networks, or electronic ticketing.
