If you have been a victim of online and ATM fraud, then weep no more, as one man’s vision is set to revolutionize online and banking transactions permanently.
Hold your peace first, Mr Jonathan Craymer, Managing Director of Pinp+ says he has a better idea that will make you abandon passwords, PINs and tokens as he thinks these members of the old brigade make you vulnerable to online and ATM ‘sharks’.
If you wonder why Craymer has this unparalleled confidence in his brain child, then listen to him:
Enter Jonathan Craymer who recently showcased his Pin+ wonder at the just concluded Infosecurity Exhibition 2011 held at Earl’s Court in London between April 19th and 21st:
“pin+ utilises the power of matrix-pattern authentication (MPA) to generate one-time codes without hardware tokens or card readers, and is arguably the most exciting advance in computer security since the invention of tokens over 20 years ago.
pin+ brings standardisation and essential comfort/familiarity for users. Its highly recognisable (trademarked) shield-shaped matrix offers ease-of-use combined with high security, thanks to its unique 6X6X6X6 format (6X6 matrix, 6-digit one-time codes, using only numbers 1-6).
Powered by new patent-pending IPR from Winfrasoft, pin+ offers users a raft of powerful new features.
“In pin+ the basic concept of extracting one-time codes using patterns on a matrix of squares has been honed into a powerful tool for real-world use wherever strong authentication of individuals is required,” said Jonathan Craymer, managing director of PinPlus Limited. “With the launch of pin+ Matrix Pattern Authentication (MPA) has truly come of age.”
Peradventure you think Craymer is speaking Greek, what he is exactly saying is that pin+ offers:-
- consistent standardised look and feel (all applications)
- vastly increased mathematical strength
- true one-time codes
- superior protection
- improved resistance to reverse engineering
- static PIN option
- fast/consistent implementation.
His confidence in his product is such that he throws a challenge: “I challenge anyone to come up with a better system for strongly authenticating individuals in virtually any scenario imaginable than matrix pattern authentication as represented by pin+.”
But do you dare Craymer? Then beat Pin+ if you can!
