Gemalto empowers smartphone-based digital vehicle key
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Securely lock/unlock and start your car using your smartphone
Amsterdam, May 15, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader
in digital security, is providing its Trusted Services Hub (TSH) to support
Daimler AG's new smartphone-based 'digital vehicle key' for the Mercedes-Benz E-
Class range. The premium car maker's innovative solution gives drivers the
freedom to lock/unlock and start their vehicles using nothing more than an NFC
smartphone. Gemalto's TSH enables seamless and secure over-the-air deployment of
the digital keys to any type of phone that supports the solution.
With the key safely downloaded to a secure element* via Gemalto's TSH, drivers
can lock/unlock their cars by simply placing the smartphone against the door
handle. The engine can also be turned on with the phone in the charging tray of
the dashboard and pressing the start button. Capable of operating even if the
phone battery** is drained, the need to carry a conventional key is eliminated.
As an integral part of the 'Mercedes me connect' program, the digital vehicle
key will connect seamlessly with services that meet the demands of modern
mobility and digital lifestyles.
"Digitalization demands that companies harness their expertise to forge strong
relationships with all stakeholders within the connected car ecosystem," said
Christine Caviglioli, vice president New Mobility Solutions at Gemalto. "For
Daimler AG, this aim is fully supported by our solutions, which enable it to
offer customers innovative services through their preferred device, without
compromising security."
*A Secure Element is a tamper resistant hardware platform, capable of securely
hosting applications and storing confidential and cryptographic data. It can be
found in a SIM provided by a Mobile Network Operator and/or an eSE (embedded
Secure Element) built into phone handset by OEMs."
**up to 10 door lock / unlock in the next 24h if the smartphone device supports
this functionality
