High Risk Authentication
High risk authentication (banking, VPN), has always demanded separate hardware dedicated to authenticating users. There’s good reason for having this additional security layer. Called two-factor authentication, the logic is simple - if one device is compromised, overall security isn’t breached. Two common examples are:
- Card + reader. Your bank issues you with a card reader, which you use in conjunction with your bank card
- Multi-purpose token generators
Unsurprisingly, with mobile phone subscriptions now outstripping the number of TV, personal PC and credit card owners, there’s strong interest in using them for authentication.
