Authlogics Launches Secure Document Authentication with PINgrid
February 2017 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Authlogics launched AuthentiDoc, a new
Secure Document Authentication solution, based on its PINgrid
technology. The software enables any Microsoft Office, PDF or ZIP file to
be securely encrypted, sent and decrypted by the authorised recipient,
using a simple One Time Code (OTC).
To secure a document the creator/sender uses the AuthentiDoc software to
quickly encrypt the file/s before sending. When the recipient receives the
message, and attempts to open the document they use a PINgrid challenge (a
six-by-six grid number grid) together with their pattern to derive a OTC
which will decrypt and open the document. To decrypt and access the
document the recipient simply enters the OTC into the application that is
used to open the file – no additional client side software is required.
?AuthentiDoc is ideal for securely sharing for-your-eyes-only mentation
digitally, whether it is bank statements, invoices and financial
agreements, contracts, insurance certificates, medical records, legal
documents etc. Crucially, the solution does not require an Internet
connection, so once the document/file has been downloaded it can be
accessed whenever and wherever they choose, using PINgrid each time to
decrypt the file.
Furthermore, AuthentiDoc can be used to identify a user over the phone to a
call centre, by embedding a PINgrid watermark with a document which is
unique to the document. This is a very low cost analogue OTC system for
companies who already email or post out paperwork.
Authlogics AuthentiDoc is available now.
