LG chooses Discretix’ CryptoCell security platform for its LTE chipsets

Our friends from Discretix have recently announced that their CryptoCell security technology has been chosen to provide integrated protection for LG’s new LTE (Long Term Evolution) chipsets, to “ensure a trusted environment for the coming era of high-definition video and streaming, ultra-high speed downloads and much more.”

From the official release:

Discretix’ CryptoCell will provide a robust and far-reaching solution for LG Electronics’ LTE chipsets. As the world’s most widely deployed embedded security technology for mobile devices, CryptoCell offers an outstanding level of security while overcoming the challenges of performance, power consumption and silicon footprints. The flexible technology is designed to support the growth of DRM, device management, secure protocols and commerce, and can be deployed across a wide range of products and operating systems to meet changing market requirements for security.

Commenting on the announcement, Discretix’ Edo Ganot said: “Wireless mobile devices are obviously becoming a personal digital companion for watching movies, listening to music, browsing the Internet, connecting with friends and much more. The demands that are driving LTE development-higher bandwidth, faster downloads and uploads, and more content choices-also drive the need for a suitably advanced security environment. CryptoCell is one of the very few platforms that can support such rigorous specifications.”
