Entrust Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:ENTU), the leading global provider of Trust Relationship Management(TM) e-business solutions, today announced that it has entered into a reseller agreement with the Mobile Internet Applications division of Nokia Networks.
According to the agreement, Entrust will be a premier reseller of the recently launched Nokia Activ Signet Solution for secure mobile commerce to Entrust's enterprise Public-Key Infrastructure (PKI) customers which could include, for example, banks brokerage houses, and insurance companies.
As a result of the collaboration, Entrust can further leverage its position as the leading Trust Relationship Management e-business solutions provider by broadening its offerings to include the Nokia Activ Signet Solution. The combined Nokia and Entrust product offerings will be unique in their class because they address end-to-end mobile commerce security requirements.

The new Nokia solution will be based on open standards and technologies, including WAP specification 1.2, WIM (Wireless Identity Module) and Wireless PKI.
