SecureKey briidge.net Platform Brings Trust to Mobile And Online Transactions

securekey technologies [1]SecureKey Technologies Inc. [1] has announced the commercial availability of its cloud-based briidge.net™ identity and authentication platform – a groundbreaking solution that enables people to use devices and credentials they already have to perform strong two-factor authentication, bringing trust to mobile and online transactions. The briidge.net suite of extended enterprise federated authentication services is easy for people to use and reduces the number of user IDs and passwords they manage, without sacrificing security and privacy.

“Our briidge.net platform solves the trust problem of federated identification by offering a painless way to perform strong, two-factor authentication when connecting to online or mobile services without having to carry any additional tokens or cards,” said Andre Boysen, executive vice president of sales and marketing at SecureKey. “It also solves significant cost and resource issues faced by online services due to high incidents of forgotten passwords. briidge.net services allow users to authenticate themselves using their own third-party credentials with a high degree of assurance and enhanced privacy, and offer the level of reliability and security organizations demand.”

Organizations can choose between two briidge.net service offerings, depending on how frequently their users connect, and whether or not they want to support the use of third-party credentials:

“Establishing trust in the identity ecosystem is an essential ingredient for success, and companies like SecureKey are providing innovative solutions to address this need,” said Don Thibeau, OIX chairman and president. “We applaud SecureKey for their efforts in delivering strong authentication and security services to enterprise companies and their mobile employees.”

The critical device-based security offered by the briidge.net platform is made possible by briidge.net DNA security software, which transforms personal devices into strong, two-factor authentication tokens. briidge.net DNA software already is embedded in third-generation Intel® Ultrabook™ computers enabled with Intel Identity Protection Technology (IPT). It is available for Windows, Mac OS®, iOS, Android™ and Blackberry® platforms, and can be embedded by developers into their apps using a software developer kit (SDK). It can also be delivered over-the-air by a trusted service manager into SIMs or embedded secure elements for hardware-based security. briidge.net DNA can securely read Visa, MasterCard, Discover, Amex, Interac, PIV, ICAO and other contactless card formats.

The briidge.net platform provides a high level of trust for a wide variety of identity and authentication applications. Unlike one-time password (OTP) solutions that require users to type codes in to browsers and are subject to intercept attacks, briidge.net uses dynamic cryptograms to improve the user experience and security of application systems. This provides strong protection from operating system malware or man-in-the-middle, server-in-the-middle and other impersonation attacks.
