Follow on Google News | Sicap and Methics partner for new open-standards Mobile Signature servicesSicap, mobile solutions pioneer, and Methics, digital business specialists, have together closed a deal with a tier-one operator in Europe to deliver Mobile Ink (m.ink), a mobile ID solution designed on open standards.
By: kate stoney The solution relies on a standalone, vendor independent SIM Client, which allows interoperability with all Service Provider platforms. For operators looking to launch their first mobile signature services, this is an important consideration, since the market for applications is growing quickly and only an open standards solution will ensure that innovative, global-reach signature services are readily available for activation by their subscribers. The SIM Client is deployed in a supplementary security domain assigned to mobile ID, enhancing the security of the system. M.ink is powered by a modular and flexible engine, with easy integration of third party services into the system. It also features the industry’s best mobile ID testing tools, essential to support deployment and confirm the viability of new mobile signature applications prior to launch. Sicap and Methics have also paid particular attention to the user experience. To avoid subscribers having to search for functions in a menu, all interaction is network triggered. Jarmo Miettinen, CEO of Methics Inc said that "Mobile authentication is a strategic area for operators to invest in, and they are clearly looking for mature products they can trust. Now sicap and Methics can provide a one-stop-shop for an operator seeking to run a mobile signature business. “Mobile signature services are a natural evolution to the sicap offer, which spans the value chain, from Device and SIM management, to billing, loyalty and micro-payment processing.” End
