Cryptomathic introduced Mobile AuthApp, a line of two-factor authentication apps for smart phones. These apps enable users to authenticate themselves via a mobile device without the need for a separate authentication token.
The Mobile AuthApp line can generate one-time passwords on a number of mobile operating systems, including Blackberry, Android and iOS. Due to its use of open standards such as OATH, MasterCard Chip Authentication Protocol and VISA Dynamic Passcode Authentication, the product can ingrate into existing security systems and works with the global payment network.
Cryptomathic designed Mobile AuthApp to work with its existing SMS products that provide secure online access. These prevent man-in-the-middle attacks and give user preferences as to security features and functionality.
