CTIA Wireless IT 2000, SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Certicm (Toronto: CIC.T), a leading provider of mobile e-commerce security, and 4thpass Inc, Seattle-based leading provider of WÄP microbrowser technologies for the Java platform, today announced that 4thpass is utilizing Certicom's WTLS Plus(TM) technology to provide advanced security in its comprehensive WAP and Java wireless solutions. Incorporating Certicom's powerful security technology, 4thpass delivers a compelling wireless experience for mobile users by enabling secure business-to-business (B2B) and enterprise wireless applications on mobile devices, including the Palm, Handspring Visor, RIM Blackberry, PocketPC, and next-generation smart phones running the Jaava 2 Micro Edition.
"Certicom technology meets the stringent performance demands of the mobile consumer and the strong, industry standard security requirements of our enterprise and content partners," said Samir Mehta, CTO at 4thpass. "Certicom's early focus on the wireless market has enabled the introduction of strong security into the tight constraints of mobile devices, a critical need for us as we deliver the next generation wireless solutions to any device."
4thpass licensed Certicom's WTLS Plus toolkit to provide full strength WTLS security, enabling secure connections for its wireless solutions. 4thpass provides powerful wireless technologies to individuals, enterprises, wireless ISPs, carriers, and device makers. The 4thpass Kbrowser is a high performance, WAåp-based microbrowser that runs on the Pälm OS and J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition). The small footprint and intuitive interface provide the best wireless user experience. Written entirely in Java, the 4thpass Wireless Server handles provisioning of applications to mobile client devices and provides fast, stateless, and scalable transcoding of data to WML binary format.
Certicom's WTLS Plus enables 4thpass to provide desktop-strength security across its wireless product line and incorporates Certicom's market leading elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) technology. The small size, high performance, and cost advantages of ECC are a natural fit for small form-factor devices, e-commerce, and other wireless applications requiring commercial-strength security.
