Verified Mobile Apps?

Verified services are nothing new to the digital environment; simply look at the success of Verisign, Inc (NASDAQ: VRSN), a company which offers a variety of Internet and communications-related services. While offering a myriad of services all targeting computing industry, VeriSign is perhaps most recognized by its Certificate Services (verification) logo. As the digital environment became riddled with malware, verification quickly took a leading role toward improving digital security and essentially paved the way for eCommerce as we know it today. With smartphones quickly stepping into digital territory which was recently exclusive to computers, verified services are going mobile.

If you perform a Google search for “Verified Mobile Apps” you are certain to encounter JavaVerified, which is Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: JAVA) verified service arm for Java developers. The Java Verified Program is exclusively for Java apps for the mobile and computing environments. As you scan through your Google search what you will likely also see is information about MyMobiSafe.com, who has released MyMobiSafe Verified, the wireless industry’s first verified services that caters to mobile app developers exclusively. While MyMobiSafe is emerging as the leader in verified mobile apps and mobile verification services, it is truly the rise in security related issues within the mobile environment that has introduced a need for such services.
