PARIS and LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VASCO Data Security
International, Inc. (NASDAQ: VDSI), a global leader in authentication,
electronic signatures, and identity management, today announced two new
DIGIPASS® Authenticators with Bluetooth capabilities. The DIGIPASS 875 is a
smart card reader solution, and the DIGIPASS GO215 is a compact, one-button device
offering powerful, portable and flexible two-factor authentication and digital
signing. Both devices provide enhanced security for the growing number of
mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets.
VASCO DIGIPASS
875 is suited for environments with high security and convenience requirements
such as internet banking and e-commerce. It offers WYSIWYS (What You See Is
What You Sign) functionality that allows the user to see the transaction amount
and account number before they electronically sign a transaction. This protects
against Man-in-the-Middle attacks, a common attack method used by hackers.
DIGIPASS 875 supports mobile devices across multiple platforms including iOS,
Android, and Windows Phone, and it can be used with multiple card formats.
DIGIPASS GO215
can communicate with any Bluetooth Smart Ready mobile device. It provides a
positive and frictionless user experience and enables a higher level of
security for mobile banking. The DIGIPASS GO215 instantly creates a virtual
secure channel between the host server and the mobile device to secure
communication between these two. A single push of a button generates a One Time
Password to secure access and transactions. In its connected mode, the GO215
offers electronic signing for additional transaction security.
"Bluetooth
has evolved from a 'nice-to-have' to a 'must-have' capability for mobile and
connected devices," said Ryan Martin, Analyst, IoT & Wearable
Technologies, 451 Research. "The prevalence of Bluetooth
Smart-enabled devices presents a greenfield opportunity to develop solutions
for a wide range of industries and use cases around security, authentication
and transaction-based applications."
"When
combined with DIGIPASS for Apps, Bluetooth-enabled DIGIPASS solutions provide a
secure element for high-value transactions," said Bernard Joly,
Product Manager, VASCO Data Security. "These innovative new security
devices deliver two-factor authentication and digital signing capabilities
across a broad range of platforms in both a connected and unconnected mode for
maximum flexibility."
Both products
are available immediately and are being demonstrated at CARTES SECURE
CONNEXIONS 2014 fromNovember 4-6 in Paris
France, and at MONEY 2020 from November 2-5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
