“INSIDE Secure has won a SESAMES Award with « Open NFC » in 2010 in the category Software. INSIDE Secure is the first major player to make available its open source Open NFC software stack available to the general public, in line with our vision of the market. This decision has undoubtedly been a catalyst by enabling the industry to implement NFC features in Android, whatever the NFC material used." said Remy de TONNAC, CEO of INSIDE Secure. "The SESAMES Award we received at the end of 2010 was a recognition of our innovative and visionary approach. We anticipated a need in the market and thus accelerated its deployment.” added Remy de Tonnac.

“This SESAMES Award is a perfect illustration of the transformation of the Digital Security market toward more embedded software and more services to remotely manage connected devices. The 2011 award-winner Just4YourEyes addresses security for Cloud hosted services. This is an area of growth where Gemalto is ideally positioned with its managed services offering.” said Xavier Larduinat, Innovation Communication Director, Gemalto.
