Elliptic Semiconductor and Seoul, Korea-based MtekVision agree to continue co-developing advanced security designs for mobile applications such as handset and media players. The two companies aim to further strengthen security solution embedded in MtekVision products to discourage hackers, who are increasingly searching for vulnerabilities in handheld devices. “The continued close collaboration with the team at Elliptic allows MtekVision to integrate an advanced security engine at the right cost and performance level to meet our customers ever increasing security requirements,” says Richard Beriault, GM of MtekVision Canada, the parent company’s first research division outside of South Korea. Elliptic Semiconductor was recently ranked as the fastest growing provider of semiconductor IP by tech research and advisory firm Gartner.
