True Key™ solves the problem of remembering
multiple passwords and gives users greater control of their online
identities
Mobile World Congress – Intel® Security announced today
that it has joined forces with Deutsche Telekom, in a new carrier
deal, which will bring its award-winning password and identity
management solution to the European market.
True Key™ by Intel Security simplifies the hassle of managing
passwords and, later this year, Deutsche Telekom customers will be
among the first partners to enjoy this technology, which will allow
them to access their digital lives in a simpler, faster and more
secure way. The True Key application works on phones, tablets and
computers to quickly log consumers into their apps and online
accounts, without having to type or remember multiple passwords. By
using multiple factors such as facial features, fingerprints or a
trusted device, True Key allows users to positively identify
themselves to their online services and apps.
“We know that using multiple factors including biometrics is a
hot topic as a solution to the password problem in Europe but Intel
Security’s True Key application goes even further. It puts the user
in control as they can customize the levels of their personal
security across their devices. True Key offers a more secure
solution so our customers can be reassured that only they have
access to their True Key profile,” says Marc Sommer, senior vice
president, Group Business Development at Deutsche Telekom.
Today European mobile users have an average of 26 apps on their
phones and over half access social networking sites on their
mobiles every day1. Consumers struggle to remember the user names
and passwords required to log into all their apps, especially when
you consider that the average consumer has around 25 online
accounts and 10 different passwords.
“With an increase in online attacks, consumers are looking for a
solution that can offer protection of their digital lives, without
compromising control of their sensitive information,” says Mark
Hocking, VP and general manager of Safe Identity, Intel Security.
“Together with Deutsche Telekom we will use an innovative solution
to eliminate the pain point of passwords by offering users a simple
and effective way to access their apps and devices. True Key gives
consumers greater control over their digital identities.”
Keeping information on mobile devices secure is crucial and with
the True Key app, data is locally encrypted with AES-256, one the
strongest grades of encryption available. The data never leaves the
user’s device unless encrypted first and restricts access to the
user only, and those who the user authorizes with password sharing.
Intel Security cannot access or share the data stored in the True
Key app.
True Key is currently available through a limited release and
will be generally available later in the year. You can request
early access by joining the waitlist at www.TrueKey.com.
