FEATURE: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
As we become more reliant on
technology to operate securely,
disruptive technologies such as
biometrics are making it much
easier for us to do so. There
is no denying that everyone
wants to ensure secure
authentication to avoid being
the target of a cyberattack and
we hear how various companies
are providing an answer.
T
hales, a world leader in digital
security, is the first company to
achieve the highest level of the
international security standard
‘Common Criteria’ for its mobile ID software
solution. The Gemalto Mobile ID software
has demonstrated a level of resistance to the
most advanced security penetration tests
against mobile applications. This security
breakthrough confirms that Thales uses the
most innovative and disruptive technologies
to protect its mobile ID solutions.
Thales’ portfolio of digital identities,
including Mobile ID Smart App and Digital
ID Wallet, will benefit from the same
security by design approach. This means
that governments selecting Thales’ digital
identity solutions for their mobile and
digital ID schemes will offer their citizens
and residents the highest level of software
security and protection against ID theft.
The Common Criteria certifications enable
an objective evaluation to validate that
a particular product or system satisfies
a defined level of robustness. It not only
Identity industry raises
the bar for security with
