Link: Vodafone to Offer Encrypted SMS’s to Businesses
Vodafone UK has signed a reseller agreement with Broca, to provide a secure SMS messaging service. Broca’s flagship service, SAMS, is a patented technology which encrypts and protects traditional SMS messages.
Under the terms of the agreement, Vodafone will integrate SAMS into the messaging portfolio sold by its ‘Target’ sales division. As a value added messaging product SAMS will be used for secure messaging and data capture for corporate customers.
Interesting. Wonder how it works? I assume there’s a client application on the recipients handset that decrypts the message - or perhaps it works via a WAP push that directs the recipient to a secure website? Either way, it’s a step in the right direction for improving the security of SMS - an essential requirement if we’re going to see more use of messaging in the banking and financial sectors.
