MagicCube's technology provides a secure in-app container that protects sensitive data, sensitive logic, and cryptographic operations on the device while offering unprecedented ease of deployment and remote management capabilities.
Sequent Platform digitizes legacy plastic cards from card issuers, such as banks, transit agencies and access control companies and makes them usable on smartphones and wearables.

This new security option increases the number of smartphones Sequent can support with cards, making these smartphones more valuable in consumers' everyday lives.

"sTEE from MagicCube gives Sequent the scale of a software-based security solution while rivaling the protection of legacy hardware-based security technologies."
"Through this partnership with Sequent, we will enable the storage and protection of high value credentials on mobile and connected devices without the impediment of relying on hardware," said Sam Shawki, CEO and cofounder of MagicCube. "This means making deployments of secure applications cheaper and faster, and updates easier for developers, while keeping users' data safe."
