Available for a trial period of 21 days via the trial certificate site, http://trial.entrust.net Entrust.nets service is designed to provide customers with the capability to accelerate the development and deployment of WAP server-based applications to their business. It will also facilitate more secure delivery of trusted services to these users.

As a service provider, we need to ensure the security and confidentiality of our wireless applications for the financial industry. Entrust.nets trial will enable us to test our technology and assure our customers that we always put them first.

Jukka Riivari, Head of Sales and Marketing of Nokia commented: We are delighted to be working with Entrust.net to lead the way in innovative Mobile Internet solutions. The importance of providing secure access is paramount in increasing customer confidence and adoption of Mobile services, like the one provided by Egg. Nokia is very keen to increase both the number of Mobile services available and consumers who use them, and this is an excellent step towards achieving our goal.
