Riscure successfully supports PACE Anti Piracy in achieving EMVCo SBMP certification of the White-Box Works technology

Riscure congratulates PACE on achieving EMVCo Software-Based Mobile Payment (SBMP) certification for their “White-Box Works” solution. As an independent third-party lab, Riscure conducted the evaluation according to EMVCo SBMP requirements, and this resulted in a successful acquisition of the EMVCo SBMP certificate by PACE.

Riscure congratulates PACE on achieving EMVCo Software-Based Mobile Payment (SBMP) certification for their “White-Box Works” solution. As an independent third-party lab, Riscure conducted the evaluation according to EMVCo SBMP requirements, and this resulted in a successful acquisition of the EMVCo SBMP certificate by PACE.

The evaluation of the White-box Cryptography solution was conducted by Riscure North America. The successful outcome showcases the uniqueness of PACE’s “White-Box Works” technology as it can take any cryptographic cipher and transform it into a White-box Crypto instance which is robust against sophisticated key extraction attacks. Gaining the EVMCo SBMP certification demonstrates that PACE’s technology is fit-for-purpose for the financial industry.

Allen Cronce, CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc. states: “Riscure’s security experts are extremely talented and thorough in their work, and their entire Riscure team has been a pleasure to work with throughout the very rigorous EMVCo SBMP evaluation process. It’s also noteworthy that White-Box Works was certified as a stand-alone technology and did not require the additional protection of binary hardening and tamper proofing technology to receive an EMVCo security evaluation certificate. I believe this is another industry first for White-Box Works, an unmatched achievement we are very proud to highlight.”

This successful evaluation and resulting certification marks an important milestone for Riscure North America. As this was the first official EMVCo SBMP evaluation by Riscure North America, it is now also officially accredited as a Full EMVCo SBMP security laboratory.

“We are very excited for PACE achieving EMVCo SBMP certification. The White-Box Works technology brings a unique capability to solution developers in the financial and mobile payment industry as it allows developers to create White-Box Cryptographic implementations from any algorithm. The EMVCo SBMP certification demonstrates that the technology from PACE is fit for purpose and adds value for developers when designing and implementing Mobile Payment, Tap-to-Phone, SPoC, CPoC or any sort of mobile application in which securing cryptographic materials is important.” – Maarten Bron, Managing Director of Riscure North America.
