The combined solution will deliver real value to organizations seeking advanced security for mobile payments. For financial institutions, the solution will implement bank-level security for card data protection on mobile devices as well as provide quick time to market.
Also, the software-based secure element solution will allow mobile payment providers to address critical security vulnerability in HCE-based mobile payments by protecting customer data stored in smart phone memory.
Furthermore, Sequent will create a scalable model that offers control to banks deploying HCE services under their own brand, as well as provides banks a secure framework to distribute their credentials for safe use by their partner’s apps.
Sequent chief security officer Lance Johnson said: "By combining Arxan’s technology with our PCI and EMV compliant products, we can deliver an industry-leading, software-based security equivalent to a secure element that organizations can use to secure sensitive cardholder data and tokens stored in smart phone memory."
