Zebra Technologies announced that Digital Defence, a data encryption solution provider, has created a software developer kit (SDK) for RhoMobile to make protecting mobile applications more developer-friendly while meeting the additional level of security required by the FIPS 140-2 standard. Digital Defence’s new RhoMobile SDK provides a cross-platform encryption extension to RhoMobile Suite that is available to RhoMobile developers through an annual license.
 
File and string encryption allow developers to choose to encrypt only the sensitive data before writing it to the standard RhoMobile database. Zebra acquired Motorola Solutions’ Enterprise business – including RhoMobile – in October 2014.
 
“As costly data breaches on mobile devices continue to make headlines, the need to effectively develop secure applications becomes critical for businesses, government agencies and healthcare organizations,” said Mark Kirstein, senior director, Enterprise Software, Zebra Technologies. “The Digital Defence RhoMobile SDK combines encryption and authentication security with the latest enterprise app development tools for a truly integrated mobile solution that will enable developers to write their enterprise-class apps once and run them anywhere.”
