Promoting PKI based security

"Radicchio was created to enable a dynamic global market for secure wireless e-commerce. The initiative promotes the use of an environment based on a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), allowing secure electronic transactions to take place over wireless networks.

"Radicchio raises awareness of the opportunities presented by secure wireless e-commerce through the expansion of its membership. As a consortium of the industry's leading wireless e-commerce companies, Radicchio will persuade international regulators & government bodies to accelerate the adoption of legislation which supports secure wireless e-commerce globally.

Worldwide co-operation and leadership

"Radicchio is well on its way to becoming the industry voice and authority for PKI enabled secure wireless e-commerce. The members now include certification authorities, mobile operators, systems integrators, device manufacturers and software companies.
