VASCO Data Security International, Inc. launches another addition to its e-signature portfolio with DIGIPASS 736, an authentication device that offers adaptive signing and ‘what you see is what you sign’ capability. DIGIPASS 736 has an outstanding user acceptance thanks to its optical interface which facilitates data transfer during transaction signing.
The device eliminates the use of paper-based TAN lists and adds an additional security layer to the bank’s infrastructure. It is an authentication solution that is perfectly suited for the German market but it can effortlessly be localized for deployment worldwide. DIGIPASS 736 offers a solution against so called man-in-the-browser and man-in-the-middle based fraud. The solution combines an ultimate user convenience and speed with a high-level security based on transaction risk. DIGIPASS 736 can help banks to add strong authentication to their retail channels in a cost-effective way by implementing e-signatures for online transaction security without compromising on user-friendliness.
DIGIPASS 736 is equipped with an optical interface that scans the transaction data on the PC screen and transfers them to the display of DIGIPASS 736. The optical device simplifies the electronic signing process considerably and data transfer is completed within seconds. Manual data input via the reader’s keyboard is eliminated which greatly enhances user convenience and reduces room for manual errors. End-users simply verify the transaction data on the display of the device and confirm transaction details for signing. This ’what you see is what you sign’ capability is further increased by the enhanced two-line graphical display that presents transaction data in a straightforward and legible manner to the end-user. The included magnifying function allows users to display one-time passwords and e-signatures in a larger size if desired.
DIGIPASS 736 is a zero footprint solution that doesn’t require any drivers or software to be installed on the end-user’s side. Communication between PC and device is established through a flashing pattern on the user’s PC and the optical sensors on the reader.
