Hong Kong-based wireless infrastructure and application developer SinoSky Technology Development has licensed advanced wireless security from Diversinet Corp. (Nasdaq:DVNT), a leading provider of m-commerce security infrastructure solutions, becoming the first to bring Hong Kong Post's new Mobile e-Certs to financial services over handheld devices.
SinoSky's service platform offers mobile users information in various forms such as real time streaming quotes, charts, news and personal stock portfolios, in addition to a secure trading platform, while staying online via handheld devices.
To enable support of the new Hongkong Post Mobile e-Certs in its applications, SinoSky integrated Diversinet's Software Development Toolkit with its wireless interactive streaming technology (WIST) and SkyStream Internet-based application.
Diversinet's wireless security products utilize encryption, digital certificates, permissions and signatures to ensure the integrity of wireless Web transactions and communications. The addition of Diversinet's wireless security software into SinoSky's applications enables SinoSky customers to utilize Hongkong Post's new Mobile e-Certs, giving advanced authentication and non-repudiation security over wireless networks.
"The Diversinet-enabled Mobile e-Certs provides trust by ensuring that buyers and sellers are authenticated," said Nick Darwish, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Diversinet Corp. "Our product also provides an 'audit trail' that's vital if the transaction is ever disputed."
"The availability of high speed packet-based network, combined with a sophisticated financial application with embedded PKI technology, will certainly encourage more institutions to offer convenient mobile service to their customers," said Mr Andrew Au, SinoSky's Managing Director.
SinoSky's service offers investors the benefits of advanced security, convenience, and easy access to web-based information and service on a real-time basis through a variety of wireless devices. SinoSky's wireless streaming investment service is targeted at banks, financial institutions and stockbrokers, where increased user and server security is paramount.
A number of well-regarded, multifaceted financial services group in Hong Kong, including Dao Heng Securities and KGI Asia Ltd recently launched its new PDA trading service to clients with SinoSky PDA streaming technology and content.
