Product Name Description
Contactless Cards (GemPlus) A number of different contactless card types.
Digipass (Vasco Data Security) A Digipass device is a handheld device that calculates dynamic passwords, also known as One-Time Passwords (OTP), for the positive authentication of a user on a remote system. Moreover, it is able to calculate digital signatures, known as electronic signatures or Message Authentication Codes (MAC), to protect electronic transactions and guarantee the integrity of the contents of these transactions. The calculation of these OTP’s and MAC’s is based upon the publicly available Data Encryption Standard (DES) algorithm. The DES algorithm has proven itself to be strong in numerous fields of application by renowned institutions and industry leading companies. To provide an even higher level of security the Triple DES algorithm is supported as well.
