Barcelona, Spain, February 13 - CASSIS International, a leader in smartcard management services and technology, today announced in partnership with SanDisk that its Mobile Matrix Management Platform is the world's Over-the-Air Management for SanDisk's TrustedFlashTM.

TrustedFlash, together with the MobileMatrix Management Platform, provides an open and secure environment for 3rd Party service providers to remotely and securely deploy and manage services for the consumers. Applications including SanDisk gruviTM cards can remotely be configured Over-The-Air or through the Internet.

MobileMatrix that is ready used for the management of Smart Cards or SIM cards for the EMV VISA and MasterCard cards or the SIM cards in the GSM phones or the USIM cards in the 3G phones, has been enhanced to provide the same level of security for post-issuance on TrustedFlash cards.

In the 3GSM demonstration, MobileMatrix enables the service provider, Over-The-Air and with maximum of 3 clicks, to control PC access to music files protected with TrustedFlashTM. It shows the power of MobileMatrix combined with TrustedFlashTM technology.

“Providing secure post-issuance and remote configuration Over-The-Air is the first step for service providers to deploy and control applications on a consumer product like Scandisk’s gruvi cards.”, said Mr Pascal Caillon, Director of mCommerce at SanDisk “We have evaluated several similar solutions, and MobileMatrix is the one that has been proven in the field and is used by MobileMatrix can support the mobile services and mobile operators as well as meet the security requirements of the financial industry.”

According to Mr Chua Thian Yee, CEO of CASSIS International, “The world is evolving towards service convergence, consumer centric and mobility. The SanDisk TrustedFlashTM Cards provide the mean for the consumers. The consumers decide what to store in the SanDisk card. The contents in the SanDisk card can be access across all the different types of terminal: Mobile Phones, PDA, PC or Set-Top-Box. Together with the MobilMatrix Platform, consumers will have a new level of flexibility and choice in conducting their transactions anytime and anywhere.” He added, “We are pleased and honored to have had this opportunity to work with SanDisk to demonstrate the complete end-to-end environment. As mobile phones become more complex and customized to the user, it is only natural that we will see different applications being loaded onto the SanDisk card. We are confident that this project will not just be a success, but will represent a milestone in the future world of mobile life style.”
