No. Entrust does not sell encryption toolkit libraries which is essentially what Certicom does. Entrust sells eCommerce solutions to banks and large financial institutions. 99% of the software in these applications is not encryption code. The other 1% could be an RSA encryption library or a ECC encryption library. Entrust currently uses RSA. Nokia handsets are actually small computers. The Nokia 6190 which I use has over a meg of RAM in it, apparently. It would be easy to update the firmware in Nokia's phones to do what they are proposing. Now whether or not they can use RSA in this device is the real question. Will Entrust be forced to use ECC in this embedded application? Will RSA's implementation of ECC be good enough or will Entrust go with CIC's impementation. So far Entrust is RSA all the way. Bill
