COLOMBES, France -Tuesday, February 21st 2017 [ ME NewsWire ](BUSINESS WIRE)-- Oberthur Technologies (OT), a leading global provider of embedded security software products, services and solutions, today announces its international collaboration with Samsung and Ercom, a leading company in the mobile communication security industry, to jointly develop and launch Cryptosmart SIM-powered.
OT and ERCOM have partnered to introduce Cryptosmart SIM-powered relying on an advanced SIM card technology to encrypt mobile communications on Samsung mobile devices. This partnership between OT, Samsung and ERCOM makes Cryptosmart SIM-powered easy to deploy by operators to secure mobile devices as well as data, voice and SMS communications.
The solution will bring both security and usability for customers and end-users:
Security through end-to-end encryption of voice, data and SMS communications, plus local data protection and possibility to remotely wipe the device.

The solution will be easy to install and use on a large range of Samsung devices, with a simple go-to-market via Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) thanks to the dedicated SIM.
