Cybertrust Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yuji Kitamura; hereinafter referred to as Cybertrust) and Rikei Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Tetsu Inosaka (hereinafter referred to as Rikei) has announced that they will be collaborating to develop the terminal authentication service “Cybertrust Device ID” (hereinafter referred to as “Device ID”) sold by Cybertrust, and Meta’s corporate devices sold by Rikei. We are pleased to announce that we have started offering the management tool “Meta Quest for Business” in conjunction with the management tool “Meta Quest for Business”. By providing a combination of “Device ID” and the “Meta Quest” series, we can improve security in the use of Virtual Reality (VR)*1/Mixed Reality (MR)*2 in various fields such as companies, educational institutions, and government offices. Achieve operational efficiency. ■Background of collaboration “Meta Quest” is used by companies and organizations that handle highly confidential information, such as in the manufacturing industry. Many companies have established requirements for certificate-based authentication to connect devices such as Meta Quest to their corporate networks. “Meta Quest” supports certificate-based EAP-TLS *3, but if you use a proprietary electronic certificate owned by the user company with “Meta Quest”, there is an issue where the electronic certificate cannot be installed. there was. Because the device certificate *4 is not included in “Meta Quest,” many companies are unable to meet the security requirements of their information systems departments and are unable to store confidential company data in the internal storage of “Meta Quest.” Masu. Due to these reasons, many companies use “Meta Quest” without connecting to the company network, so it is necessary to move data saved on a PC that can connect to the company network to “Meta Quest”. The steps to display data were extremely complicated. Through this collaboration between the two companies, “Device ID” is compatible with “Meta Quest for Business”, a device management tool for “Meta Quest”, and certificate-based authentication, which has been an issue for companies using it, is now possible. I did. This allows Meta Quest to be connected to the company’s network, allowing it to be used for design reviews using CAD data and training using in-house manuals, helping to improve work efficiency. In addition, since only “Meta Quest” that has registered a device certificate applied for by the administrator can access the connected network, it prevents unauthorized access from devices that are not authorized by the administrator and improves the security of the usage environment. Improve. ■Features • By using “Meta Quest for Business”, a device certificate is distributed for each managed “Meta Quest” • Client authentication is possible with the device certificate installed on “Meta Quest” ■“Device ID” overview “Device ID” is a device certificate issuance management service that enables strict device authentication by checking device identification information and registering device certificates only for devices approved by the administrator. It is compatible with a wide range of devices including Windows devices, iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and Chromebooks. By ensuring that the device certificate that the administrator has applied for is distributed to the relevant terminals and allowing only the terminals with registered device certificates to access the connected network, we prevent unauthorized access and create a safe service usage environment. can.

The “Meta Quest” series, which combines “Device ID”, can be purchased from Rikei. ■Future developments In the future, Cybertrust and Rikei will continue to collaborate on client certificate authentication using “device ID” in the “Meta Quest” series to support improved security in the use of MR in various fields. We will promote the creation of a safe and secure service usage environment. Regarding the collaboration and provision of the “Meta Quest” series, which combines the device IDs of Cybertrust and Rikei, SB C&S commented as follows. SB C&S Co., Ltd. Executive Officer ICT Business Cloud Service Promotion Mr. Katsumi Moriya We are very happy about this collaboration between Cybertrust Co., Ltd. and Rikei Co., Ltd. Similar to mobile business terminals such as PCs and smartphones that have received device certification, Meta Quest will be able to securely access internal networks, increasing opportunities for more companies to utilize VR/MR technology. We are confident that we can contribute to the promotion of DX. *1 Virtual Reality (VR): A system that allows you to experience a virtual space created by a computer as if it were real. *2 Mixed Reality (MR): A technology that allows objects in virtual space projected onto the real world to be directly manipulated as if they were real objects. *3 EAP-TLS: One of the authentication methods of the authentication protocol, which performs authentication using electronic certificates instead of IDs and passwords. *4 Device certificate: An electronic certificate issued to authenticate a device. ■Related websites • Meta Quest for Business：
