About StepNexus:

StepNexusTM is a joint venture between Oak Hill Venture Partners, Keycorp, Hitachi and MasterCard International, whose mission is to extend trusted environments to remote devices. The name “StepNexus” stands for – “Secure Trusted Environment Provisioning” – delivery of digital content such as applications, software or media to remote devices such as smartcards, trusted computing platforms or other multimedia devices; and “nexus” - “a means of connection between things, persons or events”. In November 2005, StepNexus acquired the IP and operations for MULTOSTM – the world’s highest security, open standard smart card platform and the Global MULTOS Key Management Authority (KMA). And in February 2006, StepNexus acquired NectarTM, the first implementation of Microsoft .NET on a smartcard. The StepNexus “secure packets” content delivery mechanism enables device issuers of MULTOS, Nectar or other StepNexus trusted environments, to permit third party content providers to deliver their services to the remote devices in a secure manner, whilst maintaining a trusted environment for the issuer’s applications. As of now, over 50 million MULTOS devices implementing the StepNexus content management mechanism have been deployed in over 30 countries.
