UK Design Council launches mobile phone security challenge
Posted in: Uncategorized
The UK Design Council has just launched the Mobile Phone Security Challenge, which is part of Design Out Crime, an initiative it runs in collaboration with the Home Office Design & Technology Alliance Against Crime.
The Mobile Phone Security Challenge, which is supported by the Technology Strategy Board (the UK innovation agency), is offering a total of £400,000 to designers and technology experts to come up with new ways of securing handsets, the data they contain, and their future use as electronic ‘wallets’ when m-commerce technology is introduced in the UK.
On www.designcouncil.org.uk/crime you can download briefing documents as well as visit the group discussion forum and workspace on Ning.com.
Tenders will be judged by a panel of experts, including Steve Babbage (Security Technologies Manager & Group Chief Cryptographer, Vodafone Group R&D) and Mark Delaney (Director, Connect Design, Nokia).
