Device and application security specialist, Trustonic has announced two new partnerships with key players in the expanding Chinese smartphone, tablet and wearable markets. Both headquartered in Shenzhen and shipping products to a worldwide customer base, CK Telecom and Shenzhen Sang Fei Consumer Communication Co. will integrate the Trustonic Trusted Execution Environment (TEE)* into their devices. This enables the manufacturers to enhance the security and privacy of their devices and to comply with Google’s mandate for hardware security in devices supporting Android M and above.
Already embedded in more than one billion devices, the Trustonic TEE offers hardware protection in the form of a secure operating system which is completely isolated from the device operating system. This makes it, and trusted applications residing in it, immune to all software threats resident on the device and enables advanced device security, such as biometric authentication and secure PIN entry. The Root of Trust also ensures that a trusted identity is preserved within the device, preventing fraudulent use or copying.
Trustonic recently became the first vendor globally to achieve Common Criteria security certification for a TEE device security product, paving the way for mass market delivery of trusted services on connected devices.
