Gemalto bags ANSSI CSPN certification for mobile security service

Amsterdam-based digital security specialist Gemalto has announced that its Ezio Mobile Software Development Kit has achieved security certification from Paris-headquartered government agency ANSSI (Agence Nationale de la Securite des Systemes d'Information), the French body overseeing network and information security.

The firm said its Ezio Mobile SDK mobile security service acted as an extra layer of security, tipping the service as a comprehensive, cost-effective mobile authentication tool to boost the security of mobile financial applications. In addition, the product allows banks to protect and secure their mobile banking and mobile payment services against malware and cyber-attacks through multi-factor authentication and a suite of dedicated protection mechanisms.

Gemalto added that through black-box testing, the CSPN certification helped to ensure that Ezio Mobile SDK conformed to the testing standard. "CSPN is a high security level for software applications required by experienced financial institutions to operate mobile wallet payments," it said.

"With the number of mobile banking users in 2018 expected to reach 1.8 billion, the shift to mobile banking is no longer a trend, it's a reality," added Gemalto e-banking and e-commerce SVP Hakan Nordfjell.
