US and Swiss software security company Vasco Data Security has made its Digipass for Mobile technology available for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

With Digipass for Mobile running on iPhone, authentication using the mobile phone is available to an additional 20 million users worldwide. Digipass for Mobile is available for download via Apple’s App Store. Vasco’s new solution for the iPhone and iPod Touch can be integrated into banks’ existing e-banking and m-banking applications.

Digipass for Mobile uses internet-enabled smartphones for authentication and signature purposes in m-banking, e-banking, e-commerce and enterprise security. The application supports multiple profiles such as retail banking, cash management, remote access, application security and gaming. Financial services providers users can adapt the application’s menus, messages, logos, colours and fonts to their branding, supporting brand recognition for the end-user.

Banks’ IT departments can integrate the Vasco server technology (Vacman Controller, Vacman Middleware Identikey or aXsGuard) and assign for which applications (e-banking, brokerage, VPN, application security, webmail access) Digipass for Mobile will be used. For the native integration into existing applications, Vasco has a software development kit available. For the roll-out of Digipass for Mobile on iPhone, the end-user will connect to the App Store to download the authentication application.

When users log on to the e-banking application on PC, an SMS will be send to the iPhone by the server at the bank. The user will then launch the authentication application on the iPhone by inserting a PIN-code. The authentication application will generate an OTP on the iPhone. To sign the transaction the user will validate the OTP on the iPhone.
