Siemens tests crypto for cell phones | CNET News.com:

"Voltage Security is expected to announce on Monday that cell phone maker Siemens is putting its encryption technology to the test.

Ten corporate customers of Siemens' communications group will take part in a beta of Voltage's identity-based encryption, or IBE, toolkit, set to be unveiled Monday. The technology takes identity information--such as an e-mail address, phone number or IP address--and uses that for the public key for a cryptographic system, said Matt Pauker, company co-founder."
