Motorola Solutions and Apriva, a provider of wireless transactions and secure information offerings, has said that Apriva’s authentication products will be integrated into Motorola’s mobile computing platform.
Apriva’s authentication products include Bluetooth Smart Card Reader, CSPware and Guard, which will be integrated into Motorola’s mobile computing platform to provide secure mobile Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication.
The companies said that the offering ensures that users requiring access to sensitive data receive the proper authentication based on cryptography and smart card technology.
Apriva technology enables PKI authentication to ensure that user credentials are trusted and currently valid and 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, said the company.
Apriva Reader is a portable and compact Bluetooth capable smart card reader (SCR) that utilises a highly secure FIPS validated AES 256 encrypted Bluetooth connection to the Motorola mobile computing platform.
This allows users to utilise 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, partners and integrators that develop applications for the Motorola mobile computing platform can now access information on smart cards using Apriva CSPware, the company said.
