Discretix ranked as the largest supplier of Encryption Semiconductor Intellectual Property with about one-third of the market. Embedded security provides the foundation for mobile applications.
San Mateo , California, July 10th , 2006 -Discretix, Inc., the leading provider of embedded security and DRM solutions for mobile devices and flash memory, today announced that it has been ranked by Gartner as the largest supplier of encryption intellectual property in 2005*. This is the 2nd year in succession that Discretix has been ranked as the largest vendor in this category.
Encryption intellectual property forms the foundation of embedded security solutions for mobile device and flash memory. Embedded security acts as a "double driver", enabling the roll-out of mobile applications while protecting the device and its contents from hacking, theft and fraud.
Pioneered by Discretix since its founding, hardware based security has become the de facto standard for mobile devices. Conscious of the role security plays in applications such as DRM, its impact on the user experience, and as a safeguard against phone theft, mobile network operators have made hardware based security a mandatory requirement.
Discretix's integrated security platforms - CryptoCellT and CryptoFlashT - provide robust, high performance security solutions, spanning semiconductor IP, security middleware, and client applications.
Commenting on the announcement, Gal Salomon, CEO of Discretix said, "Discretix secured major design-wins in 2005, allowing us to maintain our leadership position. Discretix is well placed to capture the lion share of the mobile security and DRM markets by offering a comprehensive portfolio of solutions that utilize the underlying embedded security infrastructure."
