Tokyo, Japan, Nov 01, 2004 (JCNN via COMTEX) -- NTT DoCoMo (TSE: 9437), Intel and IBM have released a new security specification called for mobile devices called the "Trusted Mobile Platform."

The specification has defined a set of hardware and software components that can be constructed to build devices offering different levels of security. Trusted Mobile Platform builds on well established, strong security techniques and applies them to the hardware and software architectures to define a trusted execution environment that protects the device both at boot time and during runtime.

This can help make advanced mobile-commerce services such as electronic tickets and e-wallets for online purchases more secure and help protect against viruses and other software attacks.

Details are publicly available at http://www.trusted-mobile.org/ for industry review.
