Vasco Data Security International, has announced two new DIGIPASS Authenticators with Bluetooth capabilities. The DIGIPASS 875 is a smart card reader solution, and the DIGIPASS GO215 is a one-button device offering two-factor authentication and digital signing.

Vasco DIGIPASS 875 is suited for environments with high security and convenience requirements such as internet banking and e-commerce. “It offers WYSIWYS (What You See Is What You Sign) functionality that allows the user to see the transaction amount and account number before they electronically sign a transaction. This protects against Man-in-the-Middle attacks, a common attack method used by hackers,” according to a release. DIGIPASS 875 supports mobile devices across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows Phone, and it can be used with multiple card formats.

DIGIPASS GO215 can communicate with any Bluetooth Smart Ready mobile device. It provides a higher level of security for mobile banking. The DIGIPASS GO215 instantly creates a virtual secure channel between the host server and the mobile device to secure communication between these two. A single push of a button generates a One Time Password to secure access and transactions. When connected mode, the GO215 offers electronic signing for additional transaction security.
