Gemalto’s e-Banking offer comprises several authentication solutions. These
include tokens providing OTPs (One-Time-Passwords), readers using consumers’ EMV
cards and the highly secure Ezio Plug&Sign solution. This uses USB*-connected
keys enabling legally binding digital signature thanks to PKI**.
Protecting customers on their personal computers can be a complex business. More and more online attacks push customers to validate fake transactions. Solutions need to combine effortless installation with high standards of security.
Ezio Plug&Sign is a USB key incorporating flash memory with a PKI smart card. It helps banks speed up online banking access and secures all exchanges done over the web by customers.
Once inserted, the user gains automatic access to the bank’s website,
authenticates himself and signs transactions or documents.
Plug&Sign brings a complete non repudiation framework to the computer. Bundled
with e-Signer, the “What You See Is What You Sign” software, no data can be
counterfeited.
As a stand-alone device, Plug&Sign works on any PC and soon any Mac,
providing the same user experience in one click, leaving no trace on the
computer thus delivering zero footprint.
Plug&Sign can be used as a standalone platform or linked to a dedicated Token
Management System to update content. It then becomes an evolutionary solution,
providing day-to-day remote management.
