Masabi is supplying the software for Chiltern Railways trial of mobile phone train tickets using this Java security technology.  Historically, mobile phones, while a convenient device for worldwide commerce and communication, didn&#8217;t have enough memory to  store the security needed. This innovation tackles that issue.<\/p>\n<p>A total of 15 awards, each sponsored by a major company, were presented and at a ceremony at the Marriott Hotel, Grosvenor Square, London hosted by TV personality and science enthusiast Johnny Ball.<\/p>\n<p>The host of \u2018Think of a Number\u2019 said: \u201cWhat makes a great innovator? Perhaps a little eccentricity, a desire for improvement, plus vision and the determination to see it through. All that equals the type of projects recognised through these awards. Innovators always ask \u2018Why can&#8217;t it be better?\u2019 If it wasn&#8217;t for innovation we would still have black and white television and mono radio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cInnovation is at the heart of business and wealth creation. It is right that we acknowledge those who push the boundaries of science, engineering and technology and it will be exciting to see how the innovations awarded this year will make  their mark in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robin McGill, CEO of the IET said: \u201cThese awards recognise the vital role that innovation in engineering plays in the global economy. On behalf of the IET I would like to congratulate all the winners who have displayed outstanding innovation in their respective categories.\u201d He added that because of the huge interest in the awards this year details of the 2008 awards would be available immediately on the IET web site at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theiet.org\/innovationawards\">www.theiet.org\/innovationawards<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The judges said: \u201cEncryptME technology is truly innovative. Small, fast and easy to deploy and using certified algorithms, it has the potential to have a significant impact on both users and the market.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Security Category is sponsored by ARM.<\/p>\n<p>The awards have been supported by the Department for Innovation Universities and Skills and Make Your Mark in Manufacturing &amp; Engineering.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:right\">ENDS<\/p>\n<h2>about The Institution of Engineering and Technology<\/h2>\n<p>The Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) is one of the world\u2019s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.
