RealityMobile Selects Mocana to Use With Military Mobile Devices

  • Jul 18, 2012

Reality Mobile® has chosen Mocana's NanoSSL™ secure data transport suite to provide highly secure Suite B-enabled real-time mobile video and visual collaboration for their users in the military and national security community, as part of its flagship RealityVision® video communications and collaboration platform. The Suite B-compliant Mocana NanoSSL software enabled Reality Mobile to incorporate best-in-class interoperable security into their RealityVision software platform to efficiently encrypt and decrypt real-time video streams on Android devices.

The RealityVision release applies patented peer-to-peer (P2P) technology to enable soldiers or agents in the field to share live video from their Android mobile devices in real time with each other, and with command-and-control centers. Any critical information seen in the field or on a PC screen— including UAV or drone feeds in a TOC or NOC— can be shared instantly and securely with everyone who needs to see it. The Mocana NanoSSL Suite B software secures these video streams with advanced cryptographic techniques specified by the NSA for encrypting and authenticating communications between government agencies and contractors.

“When we decided to offer a version of our RealityVision product that supports the Suite B encryption standard specified by the National Security Agency for mobile devices, we chose Mocana because of their high-performance, small-footprint solution, their security expertise and the straightforward integration of their software into our platform,” said Brian Geoghegan, executive vice president and chief product officer of Reality Mobile. “Another big advantage was their familiarity with our existing customer base, especially the Defense community, and all the requirements and nuances that are a part of that.”

“The NanoSSL NSA-specified Suite B algorithms ensure secure communications between high-assurance (classified) and basic-assurance systems, and our software delivers this through a simple API,” said Kurt Stammberger, CISSP, vice president of market development for Mocana. “Mocana NanoSSL isn’t just another SSL toolkit. It’s a professional device security platform that helps our customers shave months off their engineering timelines while delivering differentiated products with advanced security features that just aren’t available anywhere else.”

The NSA developed the Suite B specifications, also known as the Cryptographic Interoperability Strategy (CIS), to provide industry with a set of cryptographic algorithms they can use to promote cryptographic protocol and algorithm interoperability, and to create products meeting a range of U.S. government needs. Suite B is comprised of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) and the Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) 2.

The Mocana NanoSSL developer toolkit is a super fast, super small SSL/TLS solution specifically designed to speed product development while providing best-in-class device security services for resource-constrained environments. NanoSSL encryption can help defeat eavesdropping on wired or wireless connections by making data unreadable and difficult to redirect with consequence. Highly efficient and able to utilize hardware acceleration, Mocana NanoSSL software is built from the ground up for resource-constrained environments, and a NanoSSL client can fit in as little as 50KB of memory.

  • The Key to Wellbeing in the Office

    A few years ago, all we saw in the news was the ‘great resignation.’ Now we have another ‘great’ to deal with. According to CBRE, 2023 was the start of the ‘great return’ as office workers returned to their normal offices after working from home. The data shows that two-thirds of all U.S office buildings were more than 90% leased as of Q2 2023. Read Now

  • Failed Cybersecurity Controls Costing U.S. Businesses $30 Billion Yearly

    Panaseer recently released ControlWatch and the Continuous Controls Battle: Panaseer 2025 Security Leaders Report examining the cost of cybersecurity control failures and the impact of growing personal liability for security failings on security leaders. The report analyzes the findings of a survey of 400 security decision makers (SDMs) across the US and UK. It shows that security leaders feel under increasing pressure to provide assurances around cybersecurity, exposing them to greater personal risk – yet many lack the data and resources to accurately report and close cybersecurity gaps.

  • The Business Case for Video Analytics: Understanding the Real ROI

    For security professionals who may be hesitant to invest in video analytics, now's the time to reconsider. In a newly released Omdia report commissioned by BriefCam (now Milestone Systems), the research firm uncovered a compelling story: more than 85% of North American and European organizations that use video analytics achieve a return on investment within just one year. The study, which surveyed 140 end users across multiple industries, demonstrates that security technology is no longer just for security — it's a cross-organizational tool that delivers measurable business value far beyond traditional safety applications.

  • Survey: 54% of Organizations Cite Technical Debt as Top Hurdle to Identity System Modernization

    Modernizing identity systems is proving difficult for organizations due to two key challenges: decades of accumulated Identity and Access Management (IAM) technical debt and the complexity of managing access across multiple identity providers (IDPs). These findings come from the new Strata Identity-commissioned report, State of Multi-Cloud Identity: Insights and Trends for 2025. The report, based on survey data from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), highlights trends and challenges in securing cloud environments. The CSA is the world’s leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment. Read Now
