VASCO Announces The Availability Of Multi-OTP Technology

VASCO Data Security International has announced the availability of its multi-OTP technology. With its multi-OTP devices, VASCO is responding to existing customers of traditional authentication solutions who have a need to secure additional applications without yet introducing online transaction signing.

DIGIPASS one-button devices providing single one-time passwords (OTP) are ideally suited for user-friendly user authentication. Multi-OTP one-button devices can secure multiple applications with a single authentication device using different OTPs. With every push on the authenticator’s button, the security level of the calculated OTP is enhanced.

The single one-button authentication device can generate multiple one-time passwords (OTP). Multi-OTP devices also provide a solution for banks with divisions responsible for certain applications operating in independent legal entities. From a customer interaction perspective, they often want to supply the end-user with only one authentication device, but for internal purposes they require separate security implementations.

Multi-OTP technology also provides a solution for ASPs who have several applications they want to secure with a single DIGIPASS but using different OTPs for different applications.

Multiple OTPs generated by a one-button DIGIPASS

The entire DIGIPASS GO-family, VASCO’s range of one-button authentication devices, can be equipped with multi-OTP technology upon customer request. One DIGIPASS will be able to generate up to three different OTPs. The different OTPs will have distinct features such as the length of the OTP and a customised message displayed before the OTP generation, avoiding that the user would present a wrong OTP.

“With the launch of our multi-OTP patent pending DIGIPASS devices, VASCO showcases its commitment to innovation. We continuously keep track of security trends and fraud attacks and we develop our products and technology to stay ahead of these evolvements. With our multi-OTP devices we clearly meet a market demand to secure more channels with a single device. Furthermore our multi-OTP devices are DIGIPASS Plus Ready, allowing customers to benefit from our DIGIPASS as a Service, cloud-based authentication offering,” says Jan Valcke, President and COO, VASCO Data Security.
