INSIDE Secure Introduces HCE Payment Security Updates at Mobile World Congress 2015INSIDE Secure (Euronext Paris: INSD), a leader in embedded security solutions for mobile and connected devices, today announced it will be revealing updates around its award winning products for Host Card Emulation (HCE) payments at Mobile World Congress (News - Alert) 2015. As part of this announcement, Proxama will leverage INSIDE's technology to release a new product for banks that are looking for "off the shelf" solutions to offer HCE cloud-based payments for leading payment schemes. In addition, INSIDE will present some key updates to its robust HCE payment solution to help solve the problem of integrating multiple technologies, including cloud systems, mobile applications, mobile application security, credential management and certification. INSIDE now boasts the industry's most secure - and easy to deploy - HCE payment solutions on the market, by utilizing a unique combination of technologies and is now being leveraged by innovative companies like Proxama to bring highly secure, ready to use HCE solutions to the market quickly. "We are thrilled to be leveraging INSIDE Secure's proven technology and expertise around HCE payment to support Proxama's Digital Enablement Platform for HCE," said Mike Woods, Payments CEO of Proxama. The combination of INSIDE Secure's vast knowledge of payment and software security with Proxama's recognized competencies on platform management is a powerful combination for the HCE payment market." Although Google (News - Alert) adopted HCE in 2013, payment apps based on this model were immediately scrutinized as vulnerable to attack because software security and new payment innovations allow secure data to be stored in a software application. As a result of the acquisition of Metaforic, INSIDE Secure has brought together the necessary technologies and expertise to provide the first commercial security tools for application security and critical customer data protection. When licensed by companies like Proxama, the solution gives issuers and banks greater flexibility in deployment by leveraging cloud and software technology to work with all potential players for secure mobile payments using Near Field Communication (NFC), QR code and other technologies. Benefits of INSIDE Secure's comprehensive HCE payment solution include:
"With a full range of embedded security solutions and unmatched expertise, INSIDE Secure is uniquely positioned to help card schemes, issuers and app developers secure their business models, whether using newer software-based secure element solutions," said Remy de Tonnac, CEO of INSIDE Secure. "It's satisfying to see real world deployments of highly secure HCE payments beginning to roll out, knowing this is just a starting point for the broader adoption of secure mobile payments."
