Intercede launches projects with VMWare, Imagination

Intercede announced Tuesday that it was collaborating with VMWare and Imagination on two "standalone, meaningful" projects using Intercede's MyDem and MyTAM software.

The AIM-negotiated firm said MyID was already available for VMware Workspace ONE and VMware AirWatch to provide US Federal government employees secure remote access to mail, browsers and other applications on their mobile devices.

To access that capability, federal government employees could use existing personal identity verification (PIV) cards in a self-service kiosk to authenticate themselves to the system to provide keys and certificates to their mobile devices.

Users were able to leverage Intercede's MyDid technology and the Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) through a credential-based solution for secure mobility, said the board, which provided increased mobile credentials in compliance with "stringent standards Security "for strong authentication and mobile work.

"The government is a highly regulated industry and it can not afford to be a victim of data breaches or cyber hackers easily avoided," said Intercede President and CEO Richard Parris.

"The repercussions of bad authentication for a government department could be serious and far-reaching, which means that security should never be taken lightly.

"Enabling customers to leverage the capabilities of VMware's AirWatch and Intercede solutions is low-impact, user-friendly, and will help government departments manage who has access to privileged data."

The other project involved Intercede and Imagination as a demonstration of the 'Continuum Trust' at BT's Innovation 2017 event.

Intercede said the demonstration focused on how chipsystems (SoCs) for residential gateway routers could be designed to address the growing security and management challenges posed by the proliferation of devices, services and technologies. Internet of Things.

It relied on a MIPS-based platform that supports multiple trusted-run environments (TRE), where services, including network communication standards on which they are based, could be provisioned and managed by the operator.

This was made possible by the powerful hardware virtualization capabilities of the MIPS CPU and the security-centric evolution of the MyTAM client from Intercede and the mobile application, the board explained, allowing service providers to create dynamically created TREs and Deploy trusted applications directly to them.

"This is another example of how Intercede software is building a vital component of key ecosystems, both now and for future development," said Richard Parris.

"Systems-on-chips will be an integral part of the Internet of Things, particularly in light of the management and security issues created by the proliferation of IoT devices, services and technologies entering the home."
