Wanting notarisation of developers to occur every time they access code within the BREW® environment and also needing robust root key security, QUALCOMM elected to leverage VeriSign® Code Signing Certificates and has since successfully defended the code from all unauthorised developer access.
Since going live we have not had a single unauthorised developer breach our security, which is why our relationship with VeriSign is so strong and long-standing... We have an inherent trust in VeriSign to protect us.
