VASCO Data Security - A World Leader in Strong AuthenticationVASCO DIGIPASS 270 Xpress

Ultra-portable strong authentication

DIGIPASS 270 Xpress

Overview:

Designed for mass deployments, DIGIPASS 270 Xpress offers e-signature and one-time password (OTP) functionality. With its two dedicated function buttons, selecting the correct application is done in an instant. An effective tool against financial fraud and man-in-the-middle attacks, suited for massive deployments considering distribution can be handled through traditional postal services.

Online transactions are scrutinized by hackers who want to turn the e-transaction to their benefit. Fraud schemes are becoming more and more sophisticated, such as man-in-the-middle and man-in-thebrowser attacks. Banks are therefore increasingly adopting defense mechanisms using electronic transaction signing.

VASCO Data Security is a leading provider of strong authentication solutions, helping financial institutions and other organizations worldwide to effectively combat online fraud. The VASCO solutions help financial transactions to ensure the authenticity of transactions while authenticating the users who initiate them.

DIGIPASS 270 Xpress enhances the security of web-based services. The e-signature functionality provides an excellent defense against so called man-in-the-middle attacks. DIGIPASS 270 Xpress ensures that banks and other organizations can economically deploy a comprehensive, scalable, high performance two-factor authentication solution. VASCO's DIGIPASS 270 Xpress ensures an optimal balance between user-friendliness, cost-efficiency and security.

How Does it Work?

To activate the device, the user will use his personal identification code (PIN). Once activated, the user simply chooses the one-time password or the e-signature application by pushing on the dedicated function button. Whether dynamic passwords are used to log-on to a restricted web site or e-signatures are created to sign a financial transaction, banks have greater control over who is trying to log-on or execute a transaction.
