G&D Supplies Vodafone Germany with SIM Card-Based System for Mobile<br>
Communication Encryption<br>
<br>
Munich, March 9, 2014 – Vodafone Germany is the first telecommunications<br>
group to offer its corporate and public sector customers SIM card based<br>
end-to-end encryption for their mobile communication. Giesecke &<br>
Devrient (G&D), an international leader in mobile security solutions,<br>
developed the product in collaboration with Düsseldorf-based network<br>
operator Vodafone. Secure SIM Data encrypts and signs emails, documents,<br>
data carriers, and VPN connections. This is the second product for<br>
securing mobile communication that Vodafone has brought out in<br>
collaboration with its security partner G&D. The existing solution has<br>
been providing Vodafone customers with secure login access to corporate<br>
networks and the data cloud for some time now – there, too, G&D’s latest<br>
SIM technology provided the key.<br>
<br>
As mobile working becomes more common, companies are increasingly forced<br>
to find more effective ways to protect sensitive data. Solutions are<br>
called for that can be implemented on different devices simply and<br>
flexibly. Vodafone is now offering a standardized, flexible and above<br>
all cost-efficient product for daily use that is based on G&D technology.<br>
<br>
“We created Vodafone Secure SIM Data as a simple, cost-efficient and<br>
above all secure value-added service based on the Vodafone SIM card for<br>
the telecommunications group’s corporate customers. It regulates access<br>
to sensitive data while also protecting mobile data communication<br>
effectively against attack,†says Carsten Ahrens, Group Senior Vice<br>
President, Server Software and Services (3S) division.<br>
<br>
Unlike the majority of products that are already available, this<br>
solution does not require users to possess separate smartcards or<br>
security tokens. The digital private key and corresponding certificates<br>
are securely stored on the SIM in the user’s notebook or tablet,<br>
eliminating the need for additional hardware such as card readers etc.<br>
Vodafone is presenting the solution for the first time at this year’s<br>
CeBIT trade show in Hannover, where it will be demonstrated using a<br>
Windows 8-based standard Lenovo notebook.<br>
<br>
Secure SIM Data encrypts emails and documents in such a way that they<br>
are unreadable to unauthorized third parties. The customer simply enters<br>
a PIN in order to encrypt and add a signature as well as to decrypt<br>
their communication. The solution uses the widespread S/MIME encryption<br>
program for email exchanges, and in the future, encryption via PGP will<br>
also be possible. Users also have the option to authenticate emails in<br>
order to verify origins and that email content remains unaltered.<br>
<br>
Besides electronic data traffic, the solution can also be used to<br>
encrypt storage media such as USB sticks or hard drives. This ensures,<br>
for instance, that a sales representative’s confidential contract<br>
paperwork remains protected against unauthorized access even in the<br>
event of theft or loss of the notebook.<br>
