SIGABA SECURE MESSAGING FOR MOBILE DEVICES™

With the global acceptance of mobile devices, such as PDAs, information security has become a critical requirement for ensuring that the information transmitted to those devices is both reliable (is really from the sender) and protected (is really the information sent). Regulatory policies – HIPAA, GLBA, SOX, and SEC – mandate the protection of corporations’ and customers’ private information enabling mobile users to securely share such sensitive data is a monumental challenge.

Many standard PDA solutions encrypt and decrypt messages within each entity’s network – between the user’s handheld device and the corporate enterprise server. In the case of inter-organizational communications, however, outgoing messages are sent over open networks, unprotected and “in the clear” to the receiving organization’s email server. From there, a mobile device server re-encrypts the message before sending it to the recipient’s handheld device.

Unlike traditional solutions that leave your mobile device messages unprotected as they travel beyond your network, Sigaba enables complete sender-controlled, end-to-end protection of sensitive data.

Sigaba Secure Messaging for Mobile Devices™ delivers end-to-end security with the maximum flexibility for enabling protected information sharing within dynamic communities of interest. Sigaba meets the strongest requirements in terms of confidentiality and data integrity, combining standards-based encryption, key distribution and strong authentication to ensure the privacy of messages sent and received on mobile devices.

To begin sending and receiving secure messages, mobile device users simply download and install a lightweight Sigaba application. Once authenticated, users can protect their messages on their handheld device by selecting the “Send Securely” option instead of the “Send” option. Authorized recipients are able to read protected messages by selecting the “Decrypt Message” option. It’s that simple.
