V-OS world's first virtual secure element granted Common Criteria EAL3+ on iOS, Android

KUALA LUMPUR, July 6 -- V-Key’s core patented technology, V-OS is the world’s first virtual secure element to receive a Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) rating of 3+ on both Apple iOS and Google Android mobile phones.

According to a statement, it was derived from the United States Government’s Protection Profile for General Purpose Operating Systems.

V-OS is similar to a smartcard chip, also known as a hardware secure element. V-OS creates an isolated virtual environment within mobile applications to safely store cryptographic keys.

This demonstrates the degree of protection that V-OS provides against the most advanced hacking techniques.

Everything from V-OS App Protection to V-OS Cloud Solutions benefits from assurance provided by V-OS’ EAL3+ certification.

V-Key Chief Technology Officer, Er Chiang Kai said: “Only the top few IT solutions made it to level 3 with a well-recognised Protection Profile. For V-OS to achieve this level of assurance is a testament to the strength and trustworthiness of our product.”

Based in Singapore, V-Key is an internationally-acclaimed software-based digital security company.

The company powers ultra-high-security solutions for digital identities, user authentication and authorisation, as well as electronic transactions for major banks, payment gateways and governments.
