Prevent pharming attacks with the SolidPass security token. The action of redirecting a user to a bogus or fake website is a pharming attack. Pharming occurs when the hacker alters the host file on the user's computer or manipulates the DNS server. SolidPass successfully protects against Pharming attacks.

Mobile Security Token

SolidPass™ is available as a mobile security token. It provides better security than a hardware token by giving you control and choice over authentication requirements at a fraction of the true lifetime cost of ownership. More importantly, the mobile security token provides more than standard two-factor authentication with smart protection features such as challenge- response and transaction data signing. It really provides 2-factor, 2-channel, and 2-way (mutual) authentication. SolidPass works on a number of different mobile platforms, supporting both feature phones and smartphones. The Solidpass mobile security tokens include the following:

• Android Mobile Token
• Blackberry Mobile Token
• Brew Mobile Token

Mobile Soft Token Convenience

The key advantage of the SolidPass mobile soft token is that there are no new devices or wallet-fillers for customers – just an add-on to the device they already carry everywhere. Since customers already own the “hardware” (the mobile phone), SolidPass™ can be provided and managed at a fraction of the true cost (TCO) of a hardware token solution. Soft security tokens have the added advantage of being able to be distributed immediately and without logistical planning. An added benefit from a reissuing and logistical perspective is that soft tokens do not expire. This helps reduce customer dissatisfaction. Users are also more likely to recognize the loss of their mobile phone before they recognize the loss of a hardware token. This means that they are also more likely to recover a misplaced mobile phone before finding a lost hardware token. As a result mobile phones have become a more reliable deployment method than hardware tokens.

Provisioning of Mobile Token

The application can be provisioned in a number of ways include OTA (Over-the-air), Bluetooth, Wap Push, download, SMS request from a short-code or a long number or from an SMS push from a web interface or a URL from a WAP or mobile Internet portal or from a relevant applications store.

• Event-Based One-Time Password (OTP)
• Time-Based One-Time Password (OTP)
