Feb 19, 2016 | Market News

Munich, Germany – February 19, 2016 – Mobile security is poised for growth as global mobile data traffic from smartphones is expected to increase ten-fold between 2014 and 2020. To provide the market with turnkey mobile security solutions, Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) today introduced OPTIGA™ Mobile. The new brand extends Infineon’s OPTIGA™ range of embedded security solutions with dedicated services around mobile security. OPTIGA Mobile helps mobile device manufacturers and OS providers to improve the security of their products while reducing investment in security critical production equipment and processes.

“With OPTIGA Mobile, we provide all building blocks for implementing a hardware-based Root of Trust in mobile devices”, said Juergen Spaenkuch, head of platform security at Infineon. “Our customers can now seamlessly integrate our chips into existing production and logistic lines. This gives them a competitive advantage and helps to maximize mobile security to the benefit of end users.”

Embedding security controllers into mobile devices is a challenging task: device manufacturers and OS providers face a broad range of security-critical processes as well as special logistic requirements for packaging and transport. With its OPTIGA Mobile offering, Infineon delivers customized turnkey security solutions and services directly to the customers’ production site. All security relevant production steps are handled within Infineon’s certified and secured manufacturing premises.
