At the 3GSM event in Barcelona, Digital infrastructure specialist VeriSign has showcased new technology designed to enable businesses to easily and securely deliver, manage and bill for mobile content.

The firm's Intelligent Portal Services will enable media firms to create their own customised storefronts to sell content through mobile devices. The Intelligent Content Delivery Network, meanwhile, is a customisable rich media delivery network tailored for media and entertainment companies.

VeriSign also demonstrated a new end-to-end mobile payment solution that will allow service providers to roll-out services enabling their customers to transfer funds between accounts and purchase from vending machines, according to the company.

"The platform quickly integrates into operators existing infrastructures, accommodating thousands of retailers and millions of transactions," explained VeriSign's director of communication security services, Ajay Nigam. "It also enables retailers to launch targeted mobile campaigns based on individual consumer preferences."

Finally, VeriSign's Secure Mobile Device Management Service (SMDM) will enable firms to manage security on corporate mobiles with consumer and merchant authorisation mechanisms, fraud detection, anti-phising, on-device encryption, device locking and unlocking, secure over-the-air updates, network monitoring and virus protection, he added.
