Wireless Security Needs

Overview

Wireless Evolution
Rapid advances in mobile technologies enable a new generation of data-centric applications, services, and business opportunities for vendors in the wireless ecosystem. This wireless evolution comes with an increase in processing power, data throughputs, and system complexity. However, this increased power and complexity makes mobile platforms, content, and services increasingly vulnerable to security threats. Industry experts like Frost and Sullivan see security concerns as the biggest roadblock to widespread adoption of wireless technologies today.

Security Needs are Growing Fast
Security is a key requirement for content providers, carriers, handset vendors, and semiconductor manufacturers to enable new wireless revenues and provide protection against content piracy, handset fraud, and malicious attacks. Needed are truly secure, standards-based platforms that enable secure download of digital content, protect handsets and services, and secure sensitive data.

Wireless Security… … Enables digital rights management across the wireless ecosystem (OMA DRM 2.0) … Reduces handset and services fraud for carriers (IMEI, SIMLock) … Enables new revenues through services such as mobile gaming, video, MP3 downloads … Minimizes support costs and improves service quality (OTA) … Allows for new enterprise applications

However, wireless security differs from what has been experienced in the PC industry over the last decade. Since mobile devices are complex, resource-constrained systems, they require embedded security solutions that seamlessly accommodate to the specific needs of the wireless ecosystem.
