nCryptone and Inteligensa Launch, nC Mobile Token, an Innovative Strong Authentication Suite on a Cellphone.


BOULOGNE-BILLANCOURT, France -- nCryptone, a key player in the field of strong authentication solutions, and Inteligensa, a latin-american company specializing in the development and the implementation of intelligent solutions for mass market, join their expertise to transform cellphones into Tokens that are both simple to deploy and to use.

Today, cellphones are mass market objects, they are always handy and give access to numerous services. In order to meet the pressing needs or a stronger security of electronic exchanges, cellphones can also be used as tokens, providing dynamic passwords which will replace outdated static passwords. This approach is appealing, but only if the proper tools and services - allowing to implement a solution as easily as using it to call - are provided to customers.

This is the reason why nCryptone's nC Mobile Token includes:

* A software platform (nC Mobile Service Center) allowing large companies (banks, administrations, e-merchants, etc.) as well as their end-users, to manage, via a secure website, all the steps of the token life cycle: creation of the token, token's graphic personalization, user provisioning and enrolment, software deployment on cellphones (on air download or SMS (1) (Storage Management System) Software used to routinely back up and archive files. See HSM.

* A software which, once received by the cellphone, calculates and displays on the screen a dynamic password (OTP (1) (One Time Programmable) Refers to programming content or logic into chips such as EPROMs and EEPROMs, which cannot be reversed. See antifuse.

), based on a highly secure algorithm: OATH (nCryptone is a coordinator member of OATH). The launch of the calculation is done by entering a Pin code on a cellphone keypad, which constitutes, with the OTP, the second factor of authentication.

nC Mobile Token is compatible with all OATH compliant authentication servers. This compatibility, along with its easiness to implement thanks to the nC Mobile Service Center, guarantees quick deployment and a fast ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). .

Created jointly with Inteligensa, the nC Mobile Token suite combines nCryptone's experience in the field of strong authentication and Inteligensa's expertise in the field of highly secure chips.

y By broadening even more our range of strong authentication solutions, we offer to our clients to choose, according to criteria such as easiness to use, authentication channel (single and/or multichannel), association with other services, the best suited solution to their environment e, says Philippe BUSCHINI, SVP SVP S'il Vous Plaît (French: Please)
