charismathics releases Smart Security Suite at Infosecurity Europe, a structured modular unified PKI solution

Munich, Germany - 22 April 2010

charismathics, the Munich based global leader in computer security products, today announced “smart security suite©”, a product bundle aimed at all the individual requirements of companies to address their identity management needs. The company herewith completes a breakthrough range of products uniquely positioned in the world market. A µSD card family being part of this, it is now possible to fully support all charismathics identity management products with the highest security level in strong authentication: CSSI, the independent computer middleware; as well as iEnigma®, the corresponding smart phone software solution that allows to fully replace smart cards or USB sticks and use the smart phone instead.

By the same time, the token based plug´n´crypt® USB stick has been completely overhauled. It now offers certificate-based on-board data encryption and includes RFID connectors to support contactless operations of the crypto chip as well. The neat looking device fits the company´s market approach: charismathics now offers to support all standard hardware form factors out of the box, including standard flash memory devices and also soft tokens. Taking its comprehensive software client for Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux and their interoperability in-between each other, the company now literally offers a product derivative for every individual set-up of company´s IT infrastructure.

Driven by the recent market developments, charismathics´ CEO Sven Gossel states: “Within the next 4 years, you will not distinguish between a smart phone and a computer any more. Applications and devices will merge into individual solutions for each and everyone. We face this development with a product range that virtually supports all platforms in the world market and addresses the user´s individual request. Nobody else moves as fast and as flexible as we did over the past and the years to come.”

charismathics specializes in software and hardware for identity management solutions. For years, the company has been pioneering PKI middleware in desktop computer systems both for the enterprise and the government sector. Following the steep increase of smart phones in the enterprise sector, but also having those devices merging into smaller corporations and the SMB segment, the company addresses this market with iEnigma This product was announced in 2009 and turns your smart phone into a smart card – and by the same time it addresses the desire to limit hardware costs and improve the availability of strong authentication features on all computer and mobile phone platforms. charismathics claims it will be available in all main app stores even for individual use already this year.

All of the company´s products also interoperate with each other: a µSD card with smart card chip can be used in a smart phone to support computer applications via Bluetooth, so can a standard flash device be used as a soft token carrier to serve applications all computer users know and mostly have installed on their systems already. The company´s vision to make the use of strong authentication ubiquitous is getting closer.
