Online Identity and Trust

We announced our new "Mobile Developer Test Drive" program today at the 2009 RSA Conference. By leveraging the VIP Access for Mobile SDKs, developers can easily and quickly create a pilot version to transform personal mobile devices into two-factor authentication credentials.

The pilot allows developers to test the functionality of the mobile application to see how simply they can integrate strong authentication with any J2ME and iPhone applications. Developers of mobile payment, mobile banking, m-Commerce and mobile social networking can also easily incorporate VIP open standards two-factor authentication into their applications and protect their users with extra layer security that goes beyond standard secure log-ins.

To find out more about our new VIP mobile developer test drive, please visit vipdeveloper.verisign.com. Please also send us your success story and feedback. We'd love to hear from you!

We are very excited to share that our VIP Access for iPhone downloads has reached a record high. Downloads grew three times more than our previous record high this week.

We appreciated all the constructive feedback from our VIP users. Many users also wish more online banks, gaming and social network sites would sign up with VIP Network, so they can use one VIP Access credential anytime anywhere to secure their online accounts and online identity.

 
We also have had many iPod touch users ask to be notified when we include support for the iPod Touch. Although in our first release, we leverage SMS as part of activation process, we are reviewing other alternatives to enable iPod Touch users in the near future. Stay tuned.

If you have any suggestions, please email to vipmobile@verisign.com. We love to hear from our users.
