 and site-to-user authentication solutions, it's designed to protect consumers while they log in to their ING DIRECT accounts--without complicating the login process.

They also have taken a proactive approach to security, implementing features such as PIN Guard to further encrypt users' PIN numbers, and the RSA FraudActionSM service, a 24X7 anti-phishing service which was launched in mid-2005. With this new layer of security, ING DIRECT Customers get added peace-of-mind that they are on the authentic ING DIRECT website, as well as behind-the-scenes security via real-time authentication, based on their device and additional parameters, as they bank online.

The enrollment process, which is only required once, is easy and takes only a minute or two. To enroll, ING DIRECT Customers select an image from a library of images and create a personal phrase, which they will recognize when logging into their accounts. Then they answer at least five security questions. After enrollment, when a Customer logs in, they will answer two of the security questions, and then view their image and phrase so they'll know immediately that it's safe to enter their Login PIN. To make the login experience even easier, users can "register" their computer. As a result, the next time they login from that computer, they will be automatically recognized, enabling them to skip the security questions and shorten the procedure.

In parallel, behind the scenes, using the Customers' own computers as a second factor of authentication, the system provides a positive identification based on device and network forensics See computer forensics. , behavioral analysis and other parameters.
