Vodafone demos SIM-based corporate log-in product

Vodafone Germany is demonstrating a pilot SIM-based security product for business customers at CeBIT that enables secure log-in to corporate networks by mobile phone. The project works by turning a SIM card into a digital ID card to act as an electronic pass and key for access corporate data. If an employees wants to log into the corporate network from their mobile phone, they are given an authentication request which they must confirm using their SIM card and PIN number. If both of these check out, access will be granted to the company network.
