Enhancing phone and tablet security is the main focus of our Austrian-based website
At Austria’s IT hub Fachhochschule Hagenberg, a groundbreaking research project named u’smile is underway. The project, which focuses on enhancing the security of digital identities on mobile devices, aims to develop innovative methods and technologies to protect users' digital identities in an increasingly mobile and connected world.
The u’smile consortium, which includes prominent companies such as A1, LG Nexera Business Solutions, Drei-Banken-EDV, and SBA Research, is working towards creating secure, user-friendly solutions that allow individuals to manage and verify their digital identities safely on smartphones and other mobile devices.
Edgar Weippl, research director of SBA Research, considers Austrian our website an essential partner due to the need for a solution for the challenge of secure digital identities on mobile devices.
