Motorola Solutions and Apriva ISS Integrate Mobile Computing Platforms to Address Challenging Security Environments
March 07 2011 - 10:14AM
Business Wire
Motorola Solutions (NYSE: MSI) and Apriva, a leading provider of
wireless transactions and secure information solutions, today
announced that Apriva’s authentication products, including Apriva
Bluetooth® Smart Card Reader, Apriva CSPware and Apriva Guard, will
be integrated into Motorola’s mobile computing platform to provide
secure mobile Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication. The
solution ensures that users requiring access to sensitive data
receive the proper authentication based on cryptography and smart
card technology.
KEY FACTS
- Through this business relationship,
Apriva technology enables PKI authentication to ensure that user
credentials are trusted and currently valid. When the Motorola
device is locked without an authenticated user logged in, Apriva
software helps ensure data cannot be compromised if the device is
stolen or lost.
- Apriva Reader is a portable and compact
Bluetooth- capable smart card reader (SCR) that utilizes a highly
secure FIPS validated AES 256 encrypted Bluetooth connection to the
Motorola mobile computing platform. It allows users to utilize
government-issued smart cards, including Common Access Card (CAC),
Personal Identity Verification (PIV/PIV-I) ID card or any ISO 7816
smart card to unlock and authenticate to their Motorola mobile
computer.
- In addition, Apriva Reader extends
Motorola’s enterprise mobility products to meet enterprise,
federal, state, and local Government’s very challenging data
security requirements. Partners and integrators that develop
applications for the Motorola mobile computing platform can now
access information on smart cards using Apriva CSPware.
- The Motorola Validated PLUS Program
(MVP) provides Motorola the opportunity to complement its core
product offerings with approved context products provided by third
parties. The program includes approval criteria such as, but not
limited to, quality, reliability, regulatory, service and most
importantly system interoperability with certain Motorola
products.
