Applied Communication Sciences (ACS (News - Alert)) has unveiled two new security solutions for smart devices.

The ACS Mobile Data Storage (AMDS) and ACS Mobile VPN Suite (AMVS) aim to address increasing demands for secure storage of sensitive data in smart devices and secure data session connectivity in mobile networks. Both AMVS and AMDS will be available in December for Android-based smart devices.  Support for Apple's (News - Alert) IoS is targeted for the first half of 2014.

"The number of smart device applications using highly sensitive data is exploding," said Petros Mouchtaris, COO and head of applied research at ACS, in a statement. 

Mouchtaris said that this is making smart devices the new focal point for sophisticated cyber attacks, and AMDS directly addresses this new level of threat, and that ACS Mobile Data Storage (AMDS) is specifically designed to protect sensitive information in smart devices. 

 According to the company , AMDS harnesses a patent pending ACS policy-based technique which encrypts and securely stores data in smart devices on a per application basis. 

AMDS is designed for mobile applications, and the solution also supports NSA (National Security Agency (News - Alert)) Suite B compliant encryption algorithms and can be seamlessly integrated with existing user applications without modifying any application code base. 

Meanwhile, ACS Mobile VPN Suite (AMVS) enables smart devices to be continually connected to the user's network of choice, regardless of the user's location, without losing IP session continuity and while maintaining the same level of security with the associated Virtual Private Network (VPN) gateway.

"With AMVS we are delivering a truly advanced combination of seamless session connectivity and multi-level security of in-transit data, while also overcoming gaps in network infrastructure coverage," said Mouchtaris.

Mouchtaris explained that AMVS is particularly attractive for enterprise; public safety, such as disaster response; and tactical military applications that require premium levels of connectivity and over-the-air multi-layer encryptions.
