ACS, Hong Kong, 2 Jul 2008 – Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (HONG KONG STOCK Exchange: 8210, www.acs.com.hk), Asia Pacific’s number one supplier in PC-linked smart card readers industry (Source: research report issued by Frost & Sullivan), launches its APG82 PINhandy OTP (One Time Password) Generator.
What is APG82 PINhandy?
APG82 PINhandy OTP generator is a compact, completely standalone, low-cost, handheld smart card device that contains a numeric keypad and a display. Certified with stringent international standards as Mastercard® Card Authentication Program (CAP) and VISA Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA), and EMV Level 1, you can use the device in a variety of payment and bank applications.
How APG82 PINhandy works?
Using two-factor authentication, the cardholder inserts the EMV payment card (something you have) in the APG82 PINhandy, enters the PIN (something you know) using the device keyboard and a dynamic one-time password is generated and showed on the APG82 PINhandy display. Cardholder can then use this password to perform secure online transactions, telephone orders or e-banking logons.
Why APG82 PINhandy is secure and can minimize cost of specialized programming?
Having no physical connection to the cardholder’s internet authentication device like PC, Macintosh, or smart phone, the unconnected mode of APG82 PINhandy makes it impossible for hackers to steal the sensitive information in the card. Also as APG82 PINhandy is a standalone device, specialized programming like software drivers is not required.
Why APG82 PINhandy is durable?
Replaceable batteries allow users to reuse PINhandy after the run down of battery, rather than to scrap it and create electronic waste.
