VeriSign and Innovative Card
Technologies are joining forces to make it easier
for financial services providers and retailers to issue and
accept payment cards embedded with one-time-password
authentication, to protect online transactions from
e-fraud.
Companies that fortify their online commerce applications with
VeriSign Identity Protection can use ICT
DisplayCard, a “smarter” payment card with built-in identity
authentication.
The ICT DisplayCard integrates the security of a one-time
password token into a card the size of a standard credit or debit
card.
At the push of a button on the back of the card, an integrated
display shows a password that changes with every transaction.
During an online transaction, this number is entered into a user
interface with other information - such as the user’s static Pin
and login name - for multi-factor authentication.
By integrating the ICT DisplayCard with VeriSign Identity
Protection, the two companies will add a convenient, portable and
user-friendly new token form factor to VeriSign’s growing
authentication network.
