"With the rise in online and identity fraud, it has never been more important to provide user and transaction security. By combining Masabi's EncryptME and mobile application development expertise together with our GrIDsure system the result is a breakthrough in ID security for everything from day-to-day web transactions to top-level government security"
- Jonathan Craymer, Chairman of GrIDsure
background
With GrIDsure, users create a new-style 'shared secret' by picking
squares on a grid. To aid memory recall, they can use patterns or
shapes such as an 'L' or a 'tick'. Because the grid fills itself with
random numbers each time it appears, new 'PIN' or pass codes are created
(by reading the numbers in the user's chosen squares).
GrIDsure works without the need for extra hardware such as tokens - generating 'one-time' codes that are more secure and resilient to so-called 'spyware' threats.
mobile solution
In October 2007 Masabi and GrIDsure announced that they had co-developed a new secure ID system using mobile phones which combined EncryptME, the world's first certified Java security application for mobile phones featuring 1024bit RSA encryption, and GrIDsure's ID technology.
The combined solution allows today's mobile phones to act as discrete secure one time password tokens or provide networked two-channel transaction authentication for the highest levels of security.
Masabi builds secure applications for mobile phones.
The company is the leading developer of transactional software for today’s mass market mobile handsets, with experts in the fields of mobile usability and security across all devices.
