VASCO launches DIGIPASS Nano
December 2010 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
VASCO Data Security International, Inc., launches DIGIPASS Nano, its latest addition to its mobile security offering.
The solution consists of a thin film that users place over the SIM card, turning the phone into a mobile security device capable of generating one-time passwords and e-signatures. By placing DIGIPASS Nano onto the SIM card, end-users can securely access keyboard and display functionalities. DIGIPASS Nano hence offers end-to-end security during the entire transaction or signing process.
DIGIPASS Nano will offer banks and corporations new perspectives in using mobile devices as authentication means, providing them with a new channel to interact with their customers. Mobile users will be able to perform secure transactions, access business-critical data or transfer money anywhere at any given time. The solution does not require any specific subscription and is therefore operator independent. Furthermore, DIGIPASS Nano can be deployed by banks and corporations to fit virtually every mobile device worldwide that supports SIM or USIM technology.
