The new CrontoSign device uses a large 1.7” colour TFT display allowing banking customers to review all transaction details on the same screen. Since all transaction information is decoded and decrypted by the device from the CrontoSign image, the bank is in control of what and how is presented on the display of the CrontoSign reader. The bank can choose the exact message to display on the device to give the customer the chance to spot a fraudulent transaction. This allows the bank to mitigate not only current attacks but even future threats poised by social engineering attacks and banking Trojans.
The CrontoSign device now also supports multiple security credentials allowing the customer to use it across several banking accounts. The device is distributed to users unpersonalised and can be activated for each account following bank’s activation process. The activation involves loading security credentials on the device by scanning an activation CrontoSign image.
