Blueice Research Signs Consultant Partner Agreement with Infovention

Blueice Research Signs Consultant Partner Agreement with Infovention Stockholm -June 20, 2001- Swedish data security company, Blueice Research, and consultancy company Infovention have signed a strategic agreement regarding the provision of mobile Internet security solutions. The agreement means that the companies will, together, package and market mobile security solutions that enable secure transactions from a variety of mobile devices. The use of mobile devices for Internet access will increase dramatically over the next few years. This imposes significantly higher demands for security on the part of both service providers and consumers. Online service providers, and companies giving mobile access to their internal systems, are just some of the actors that have a need for better security in order to gain a competitive advantage. - It is crucial for us to have the correct consulting partners running projects in areas that are within our focus. Infovention is very experienced with the Internet banking project area and is well aware of the central position security plays in the enablement of these services, says Thomas Holmström, CEO of Blueice Research. Multipass is software that can store digital certificates and keys, allowing user identification and digital signing of transactions from PDA´s, smart phones and desktops. Multipass also protects sensitive data locally using strong encryption to keep the information from being accessed by unauthorized persons. - We believe that our strength within the bank and finance area combined with Blueice Research's competence in building security products for mobile Internet solutions will create valuable synergy effects, says Claes Puebla Smith, responsible for Mobile Internet at Infovention.
