Choosing between One-Time-Passwords & Digi-Access™
You have an existing, well structured and 'secured' online application. This could be an extranet, portal, online banking, insurance service, medical application or any other online system. Currently, access is controlled and 'protected' by usernames and passwords.


[1]Online Banking Example [1]



For many reasons, this security is no longer sufficient and there are only two credible options available:


One-Time-Password [OTP] Tokens

Digi-Access™ Certificates

In Favour of OTP

  • Widely used & popular

  • End user needs no training

Against using OTP

  • Unless you use Cell-OTP™ [2], you...

    • Will require expensive infrastructure changes

    • Need to physically issue tokens

  

In Favour of Digi-Access™

  • Requires no infrastructure changes

  • Simple issuing [4] to end users

  • End user needs no training

  • Protects against 'man-in-the-middle'

  • Implement in three simple steps [5]

  • Can be offered as a security add-on

  • Considerably less expensive

Against using Digi-Access™


You decide which makes more sense



And then let your users decide

Perhaps you don't have any plans to increase the security access to your online application. Budgetary restrictions may be another issue. So why not let your users decide if they want this security 'add-on'.

We have a simple programme for this too:

                • And if your users want it, they pay for it (not you)

                • And we'll implement Digi-Access™ for you free-of-charge, on a shared revenue basis
