Immaturity in mobile device hardware and operating system environments is holding back organizations' deployments of strong cryptographic protections around mobile applications, according to a pair of unrelated presentations at the RSA Conference last week.
In one instance, the National Security Agency (NSA) discussed how difficult it was for the government to tweak commercially-available devices to conform to government cryptographic standards. And in another case, a pair of experts from the firm Cryptographic Research showed a demonstration of how mobile devices are radiating cryptographic keys for sensitive applications such as payment applications through wireless transmissions.
