2005

BRISTOL, England and GENEVA, and NAPLES, Italy, April 25 /PRNewswire-
FirstCall/ -- Researchers from HP Laboratories and STMicroelectronics (NYSE:
STM) have collaborated with card manufacturer Incard to develop technology for
the implementation of Identifier-Based Encryption (IBE) on smart cards.
"HP Labs has been investigating IBE cryptography for some years and are
impressed with its potential," said Keith Harrison , senior cryptographic
researcher at HP Labs Bristol. "We are developing a number of applications ,
including a new HP ProtectTools security product, which would be difficult to
implement with alternate forms of public-key cryptography. Additionally, this implementation by Incard, based on ST 's advanced
and innovative ST22 SmartJ(TM) silicon platform, demonstrates that the 32-bit
ST22 range of smart card ICs provides a perfect medium to carry any encryption
algorithms.

government-approved security to their products without undergoing the time-
consuming and costly Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) process
as set out by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). By
implementing IBE on a smart card, developers can create more practical and
cost-effective online and offline secure business communication applications.
Applications for the technology are in the areas of e-government , e- and
m-commerce, wireless management of secure documents, access control, and
personal-authorization tokens.
