Actus Mobile Solutions researches and develops secure mobile technologies. m:Cypher is a Secure Mobile Transaction Engine, which has been in development since 2007, and is the development platform for powering Secure, Friction-less Mobile Commerce. m:Cypher is supported on all mobile phones and wireless devices upon which a wide-range of easy-to-use and secure mobile Apps are built. m:Cypher powered Mobile Apps protect all data regardless of type (e.g. financial, personal, business, access, message etc.) while on the mobile device and in-flight thus preventing fraudulent access. m:Cypher provides Mobile App developers with a Mobile Security Platform software development kit (SDK) upon which end-user Mobile Apps can be developed that provide robust end-to-end security for any transaction and performing transactions is a simple one-step process. As part of its Mobile Security Platform SDK, m:Cypher provides an integrated ‘Slide-2-Pay’ capability for m-Commerce enabled Apps. This is a critical feature when looking to deliver a friction-less user experience for in-App purchases. The m:Cypher Mobile Security Platform is built on a five-layer security stack and implements up to five-factor authentication - 5-FA; note: 2-FA is considered secure enough for web-based/online transactions. Four of the factors of authentication are transparent to the end-user thus ensuring the important ease-of-use feature. Mobile Apps developed using the m:Cypher Secure Mobile Transaction Engine provide non-repudiation for all transactions resulting in a significant reduction of fraudulent transactions (and the cost associated with managing fraud) as well as providing a liability shift from the merchant.
