Rivetz, a developer of embedded, blockchain-based mobile security solutions, and Privus, a provider of privacy and security technology, today announced a partnership to bring hardware-level security to the Privus flagship solution, SecurLine.

SecurLine is a secure and transparent peer-to-peer communications encryption application for smartphones.

Rivetz’s security solutions hinge upon access to the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), which is an isolated, measured computer environment separate from the operating system. By provisioning all digital transactions through the TEE, Rivetz assures that users’ private keys cannot be altered or stolen if the operating system were tampered with or infected by malware.
