Current systems and processes for authenticating access to
sensitive databases, applications and websites, typically rely
on a combination of login factors, including email address,
user name, password and so on.
In most cases, these factors rely on data which the user must
know in advance and remember from one login to another.
Users with several passwords often forget which password to use
for which system, so resort to using the same password everywhere
and never changing it, or to writing passwords down and keeping
the list somewhere handy. Either way, security of the user's
online account is compromised.
Moreover, conventional online protection necessitates the
provision of “forgotten password” processes, which can further
weaken security and add to the cost of website administration.
Forrester estimates that password-related helpdesk calls can
cost a 1000-user business between $157,500 and $472,500 per
annum to maintain their ‘free' password system.
Prove-IT can also be used as a fool-proof alternative to
CAPTCHAs in website registration processes. Once registered,
the user can use their same Prove-IT card to securely log in
to the website.
Tento's Prove-IT technology enhances the security of user
authentication and provides similar levels of security to
electronic key fobs, yet at much lower cost. It is also highly
robust, working effectively in almost any environment, including
hospitals, where sensitive monitoring equipment can malfunction
if radio-based equipment is in the vicinity.
Prove-IT uses no electronic components, so costs are much lower
than electronic alternatives.
The security level can be varied to suit a range of
applications, including:-
- Online logins to websites where reliable security is
required
- PIN verification in ATMs
- Additional authentication check for online payments
