About the Company:
Online fraud is a growing problem for financial institutions and other companies that must provide secure services over the Internet
Yet, in today’s economic climate with limited resources and competing priorities – how can service providers tackle online fraud?
SecureKey patent-pending technology enables service providers to deliver greater security for customers using strong authentication and PKI technology while leveraging existing technology investments.
SecureKey delivers strong authentication by requiring customers to authenticate not only with what they know (i.e. username and password), but also what they have. SecureKey leverages the contactless card (or NFC mobile phone) already in possession of the customer to easily fulfill the “what you have” requirement. This combination of authentication factors protects against weak passwords, password snooping and keyboard loggers that otherwise can occur with only traditional username and password authentication.
The SecureKey solution uses PKI technology to enable both the service provider and customer to validate the other’s identity over a secure and private network. This mutual authentication process, combined with strong online authentication and non-repudiation provides the best defence against online fraud attacks.
By leveraging the service provider’s investment in contactless card technology, and extending the original use (payment, access control, etc.) to include online authentication, SecureKey provides the most convenient and cost-effective solution to online fraud while accelerating the original return on investment.
