    The "Cool" Factor: Adding Convenience to Strong Authentication

    Tokens, key fobs, mobile tokens, SMS codes, phone calls, you name it. Strong authentication in its traditional way has developed into a standard procedure for e-banking applications and has become, well...boring. Moreover, it is perceived by many as “inconvenient” and “old-fashioned” in this age of mobile technology and smart connected devices. Users no longer want to be inconvenienced by carrying ten different tokens or typing one-time passwords on their mobile devices every time they release a wire. Now is the time for a “strong authentication overhaul”. While the cryptography of many such solutions has been available for years, the actual application methods were far from convenient. Strong authentication, if implemented creatively, does not have to be a burden for the users. From securing batch transactions to fully utilizing the mobile platform capabilities, the key is to reduce friction by introducing intelligent security when it’s needed, where its’ needed, and in a form that is most convenient for the user. Participants in this session gain an understanding of the different innovative use cases from financial institutions around the world that apply strong authentication in a creative way to add customer convenience and combat evolving fraud.
