Good Technology Offers Secured Email on Android Tablets
Published on:
Mobile email vendor, Good Technology says that it has developed a secure email platform for the Dell Streak 5 tablet that has been approved for use by the US military.
Using the new solution ("Secure Android"), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) personnel will be able to sign, encrypt/decrypt e-mail, utilize a secure partition on the Android device.
This is the first STIG-certified Android OS solution that meets the requirements set forth by DoD Directive 8100.2, which mandates use of secure, multipurpose internet mail extension (S/MIME) in conjunction with a DoD common access card (CAC) and interoperability with the Department of Defense Public Key Infrastructure (PKI).
Good Technology has also introduced its Secure Android Partner Program, a joint development initiative targeted at working with device makers interested in leveraging Good's expertise in developing STIG compliant solutions.
Using Good for Government's mobility suite, the new solution will pass and manage sensitive data from Microsoft Exchange servers located in DoD data centers via Good's email application to end-point Android devices wirelessly, using a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module with AES encryption to ensure data protection for data-at-rest as well as data-in-transit.
"We recognized the importance of providing personnel with mobile access to information two years ago when we kicked-off the Connecting Soldiers to Digital Applications project for smartphones. As of now, my branch has created about 75 apps -- a third of which are on Android," said Lt. Col. Gregory Motes, chief of the Armyıs newly created Mobile Applications Branch at Fort Gordon, Ga.
