/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VASCO Data Security International, Inc.
(Nasdaq: VDSI) (http://www.vasco.com), the leading software security company
specializing in authentication products, today announces the launch of
Digipass Go 7. Digipass Go 7 is a user-friendly one-button authentication
device allowing convenient strong user authentication for network access or
Internet banking. Digipass Go 7 combines portability and ease-of-use with
efficient large scale roll-out capabilities.
Digipass Go 7 is a one-button authentication device which allows users to
remotely log on to applications, websites or corporate networks. It allows
banks and other organizations to effectively combat Internet fraud by
replacing static password or paper based passwords by dynamic one time
passwords (OTP). When used in conjunction with Digipass for Web, Digipass Go 7
also provides e-signature capability. Digipass Go 7 relies on proven VASCO
VACMAN and Identikey server technology.
Digipass Go 7 has been designed to facilitate banks and large enterprises
to do efficient large scale roll-outs. The design of the Digipass Go 7 has
been adapted for mailing purposes to fit regular postal fees. The Digipass is
less than 10 mm (0.4 inches) thick and weighs 13 gr (0.46 ounces). Next to
that the design is very robust and waterproof. The combination of these
features allows banks and large enterprises to use postal services for the
roll-out to a large number of customers or users.
Digipass Go 7 also enables customers to do host authentication. Host
authentication allows the user to authenticate the business partner in order
to verify the authenticity of the website or the application. With host
authentication, the Digipass Go 7 will generate a long OTP, of which only the
first part will be shown on the display of the Digipass Go 7. The user needs
to enter this part of the password on to the website or in to the application.
The transaction partner will receive the user's username and the first part of
the password. The system will calculate the latter part of the password and
send it back to the user. When pushing the Digipass Go 7 button for the second
time, the user will receive the latter part of the password. This part needs
to be compared with the password he received from the server of the
transaction partner. If both passwords are the same, the user knows the
website or the application is trustful.
VASCO pays a lot of attention to user-friendliness in its designs. In the
design of Digipass Go 7 additional attention has been paid to the readability
of the OTP. Therefore the high contrast LCD display has been enlarged.
Digipass Go 7 is OATH-compliant.
