Trusted Identity for All

TERN PLC 56.7% OWNED INVESTMENT


April 15th, 2019 - London, UK and Fremont, USA – IdenTrust, (part of HID Global®), the leading trusted provider of digital certificates, and Device Authority, a global leader in Identity and Access Management (IAM) for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced a strategic alliance with a vision to provide trusted identity lifecycle management for enterprises on their digital transformation journey.

Device certificates have traditionally been used to secure routers, firewalls, servers, and other devices capable of securely handling private keys and implementing PKI technologies. However, in the new IoT world, device certificates can be used to secure a wide range of networked assets, such as ATM machines, medical devices, surveillance cameras, industrial machines, refrigerators, vehicles and much more.

IdenTrust’s comprehensive identity-based digital certificate solutions deliver assured individual and device identity for financial institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies and enterprises around the world. With over 5 million certificates in active production, IdenTrust supports over 18 billion validations per year and is the world’s leading digital Certification Authority.

Device Authority’s KeyScaler automation engine provides secure IoT device registration and provisioning through an innovative policy-driven credential delivery and management system that ensures certificates can be easily rotated, renewed and managed without human intervention. The platform is designed for swift integration and interoperability in support of today’s rapidly expanding IoT application market.

Combining Device Authority’s KeyScaler platform capabilities with IdenTrust’s trusted digital certificate solutions provides customers with a complete IoT security solution that automates compliance, minimizes costly manual intervention and manages risks in a diverse industrial regulatory marketplace.

“The relationship between IdenTrust and Device Authority links our trusted certificate authority with a seamless and scalable means to efficiently manage the lifecycle of issued digital certificates in the rapidly expanding IoT device market,” said Brad Jarvis, Vice President and Managing Director of Identity & Access Management Solutions (IAMS) with HID Global. “The combination simplifies the process of enhancing device security and its administration for our customers.”

“We’re delighted to be working with the IdenTrust team to provide device and data trust for their customers embarking on their IoT journey. With a mixed environment of devices emerging in healthcare, industrial, and government sectors, the combined value delivered from both companies has a strong positioning for physical, enterprise and IoT IAM customer solutions,” said Darron Antill, CEO of Device Authority.

Whats stopping the Iran contract now? Anyone?
As I said a few months back, I really want all the so called issued sorted.
No where to hide then WSG, investigation pending imo

[graham1ty] 08/4/2019 08:45

Firsttrade with 7 as the big figure........

[graham1ty] 04/4/2019 16:18

Now April. Virtually every other Dec year end company has reported results by now. Yet complex ( er, one contract.....) WSG will take another 6-8 weeks.

I always think they report so late as they are sitting with fingers, toes, legs crossed, that, against all odds, something will have been signed. PIGs might fly

[graham1ty] 01/4/2019 12:16

Sorry, April fool

[graham1ty] 01/4/2019 12:16

I hear the big contract will be signed tomorrow

[graham1ty] 28/3/2019 07:03

WSG have no leverage in any of these discussions ( apart from possibly Lunghi which no one else would touch).

So, however often they say “imminent̶1; and “priority for client”, it is entirely up to the client when they sign. And WSG is completely insolvent, and has been for years ( by insolvent I mean it would not survive without constant injections of cash) and any potential client doing due diligence would see this.

The original “model” at Lunghi, where the traveller pays for security via a levy on his ticket, is now completely stale and could anyway be copied by anyone. Bar a miracle, I just do not see how WSG can survive

Two months to sign the African deal and no result? With the document out of their hands and therefore not in control then this could go the same way as the East African deal. Barrier to entry too high.
Looks like concessions not coming through from Trump, surely a year and it’s toast. The airport can still function just not up to standard.
Sp walking down.

[youkme] 26/3/2019 14:20

Taking longer to get to 7p than I thought.
Someone found job adverts or something lol

[graham1ty] 18/3/2019 10:59

8.7p bid. How can this be happening ? With all the prospects and imminent contracts ?????

[youkme] 14/3/2019 13:52

7p soon imo. Wait a minute didn't one of those rampers on the nutter site say

"it ain’t going below 10 p which makes it safer that a Lloyd’s bank account"

Well less than a month later here we are and its only going one way imo

[blondviking] 13/3/2019 10:12

I have been with these for far tooo many years and I have at last got out with just a few left in the children's ISA's. I have lost a packet but learnt not to get sucked in to a similar co again.

Good luck to all. Probability is that they will now go up since I have pulled out!

[graham1ty] 09/3/2019 07:46

Everyone missed the anniversary. 8 March 2016, the RNS about the new 25 year contract in the Middle East.

“In view of the heightened security threat worldwide, together with the strategic importance and forecast growth of the airport in question, the country's Civil Aviation Authority recognised the need to urgently improve airport security and equally recognised WASS's experience and expertise in this field.

Arrangements are now being made for a team of WASS technical experts to meet with the authorities in order to establish technical and operational requirements prior to final contract negotiations.”

Urgent, final contact negotiations.......

How is it going WSG ? Revenue in the first three years.....zero

[youkme] 04/3/2019 07:34

Graham; since I've been following WSG that should have said

[owenski] 04/3/2019 07:21

Just popped in to see how it's going here, it feels a bit like popping in to see an old friend but unfortunately they've got dementia and they've got dribble on their chin and one feels bad because one doesn't want to wipe it off for them, then one rationalises that one wasn't really a close friend anyway. Poor old WSG, still living off shareholder largesse.

[graham1ty] 04/3/2019 07:16

700% ??? More than that. At the end of 2007 there were 7m shares in issue.

There are now 135m. That is almost 20x

So, in just over 11 years

[youkme] 03/3/2019 22:26

700% dilution and delvered zero

What does youg Mr Fowler and Miss Fowler earn per year?

[youkme] 03/3/2019 22:12

Also a bit weird thinking WSG will get something over the line imo

[dbnout76] 02/3/2019 14:01

Bit weird...but each to their own.

[graham1ty] 02/3/2019 07:35

Because it amuses me. No other reason

[dbnout76] 01/3/2019 22:04

Fair point. Why do you post here if your not invested?

[graham1ty] 01/3/2019 17:16

Of course not. Look at my previous posts

[dbnout76] 01/3/2019 16:18

Agreed!! That is a real possibility now. Are you invested here Graham?

[graham1ty] 01/3/2019 14:53

Dbnout it will be a lot more painful when the share price sits well below 10p and they have to call an EGM to change the nominal value of the shares, and then raise money at below 5p.

That will be pain

The shares were 5.5p in May 2016, so not so long ago
