Bangalore, India - Jataayu Software (P), Ltd. announced today a partnership with VeriSign Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN) to provide secure transaction applications for wireless consumers. The most recent partner of VeriSign's Wireless Developer Program, Jataayu, is a leading wireless Internet-focused organization offering cutting-edge products, applications, services and consulting in the wireless Internet space. Jataayu is collaborating with VeriSign to deliver a range of secure wireless transaction services ranging from authentication services to secure payment services using VeriSign's wireless trust services platform.

Integrating Jataayu's Wireless Internet Platform with VeriSign's Wireless Trust Services Platform enables wireless users to verify the identity of e-business sites, and for e-business sites to authenticate the identity of the wireless user. The integration of the two company's products means a higher degree of protection for confidential information such as credit card numbers, online forms, and financial data from interception and hacking. This is accomplished through the use of public key infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificate technologies.

"With the growing acceptance of m-commerce, it is imperative that solution providers incorporate appropriate security and work with the latest technologies for secure m-commerce transactions", said Raj Kesarimall, Director Marketing. We are committed to furthering this effort, and in partnering with VeriSign, are taking one more step in ensuring that Jataayu will be able to provide its users with the best possible solutions."

"Mobile commerce will be the next technology to explode around the globe, and the need for innovative wireless applications is imperative," said Paul Healy, Senior Director of Global Wireless Services for VeriSign. "Successful and secure m-commerce transactions are the only acceptable standard, and through the integration of VeriSign's proven experience in developing trust services for the Internet, with Jataayu's Wireless Internet Platform, we are making it happen".
