Blockchain security specialist 5M Holdings forms strategic partnership with Taisys Technologies


SINGAPORE - February 27, 2018 - (Newswire.com)

Blockchain security specialist 5M Holdings and Taisys Technologies are jointly developing a mobile hardware wallet which contains a Secure Element to protect private keys of digital assets using the latter's patented SIMoME® Java Card SIM overlay.

This form factor is an industry first and will make every mobile wallet which uses this technology a mobile hardware wallet. This improves the security on installed devices such as handphones and tablets to promote the ease of using cryptocurrencies.

The demand for cryptocurrency hardware wallets is at an all-time high with many manufacturers unable to meet surging demand due to the increase in awareness of the importance of keeping cryptocurrency keys safe after the recent US$500 million heist from a Japanese Exchange.

5M’s Token Security Scheme aims to make blockchain safer for everyday use and the development of this form factor with the Taisys SIMoME® Java Card SIM overlay is being unveiled this week at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.

Abraham Kee, co-founder, 5M Holdings, said: “This joint development will help us develop the secure wallet infrastructure on our roadmap quickly.

“The SiMoMe® overlay form factor can integrate with our DHSM framework and facilitate everyone with a mobile device such as a smartphone to seamlessly and securely utilise the blockchain and keep their assets safe.”

Jason Ho, founder and chairman, Taisys, added: “The joint development with 5M will allow us to move quickly into the blockchain ecosystem and give our current 10 million users worldwide access to secure mobile hardware wallets on their portable devices using our patented SiMoME® SIM overlay with a Secure Element.

“It also allows us to acquire and serve many more new users in one of the fastest-growing segments of this industry and to cement our vision as a leading innovator.”

Taisys can be found in Hall 7 Stand 7M29 of MWC.
