infrastructure products and services, today announced that its MobiSecure™ Wallet and Vault mobile secure encrypted access solution is at the heart of the new MOBILE LOCKBOX^SM, a major enhancement to the IDENTITY GUARD^® Total Protection service from Intersections Inc., a leading global provider of consumer and corporate identity risk management services.

MobiSecure Wallet and Vault provides Intersections with a mobile security platform to extend its core IDENTITY GUARD offering by creating a host of new services that build closer, more personal and “sticky” relationships with new and existing customers. Using revolutionary, secure, and easy-to-use MobiSecure Wallet and Vault software from Diversinet, MOBILE LOCKBOX securely stores usernames and passwords, banking information, personal information, insurance documents and wills, even photographs. The Diversinet software also makes it possible for MOBILE LOCKBOX to offer built-in e-mail and faxing capabilities – along with secured and encrypted customized financial transaction alerts – enabling IDENTITY GUARD subscribers to monitor their records while they’re on the go.

“MOBILE LOCKBOX is a breakthrough that puts consumers in control of their digital personal identities by providing the secure, any time, anywhere access they need to better manage their personal and financial matters,” said Michael Stanfield, chairman and CEO of Intersections. “Secure mobile platforms are a convenient way for consumers to keep vigilant watch over their identity, and Diversinet’s MobiSecure Wallet and Vault products provide an essential, enabling mobile security platform we can build upon to gain additional touch points with our customers.”

IDENTITY GUARD Total Protection was recently ranked number one among six leading identity theft protection providers by PC World magazine. It not only helps consumers protect their credit from identity theft, but also provides 360-degree protection on the Internet, on PCs, or when traveling, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Consumers’ most personal information – credit, financial, passwords, Social Security numbers, and more – is protected from the fastest growing crime in the United States: identity theft.

“MobiSecure Wallet and Vault builds upon our patented soft token and authentication technologies to create a secure encrypted mobile platform that makes it easy for enterprises to publish relevant personal information to a user’s mobile device with complete confidence that nobody else can read it or intercept it,” said Albert Wahbe, CEO and chairman of Diversinet. “We’ve created a disruptive technology that dramatically lowers the cost and complexity of providing secure mobile access to the personal information that people use every day to support their lifestyle.”

Once installed on the subscriber’s mobile device, MobiSecure Wallet offers Intersections the flexibility to launch new service offerings on the fly with no additional programming on the client device. After a subscriber has registered and authenticated themselves, whatever personal information they see on the mobile screen is stored securely on their mobile device, eliminating the inconvenient and time-consuming task of repeatedly retrieving the information from a remote server.
