Consumers increasingly are choosing mobile phones as the preferred way to receive and access information. Whether it is automatically receiving information on specific promotions, being alerted on the average wait time for a favorite amusement ride or ultimately using their mobile phone as a payment device, consumers want real-time convenience on the go without any security risks.
Phoenix Technology, as part of its suite of end-to-end loyalty products, provides a secure delivery mechanism for mobile phones and handheld wireless devices. The unique delivery service provides consumers easy and secure access to a host of personal identity information – PIN numbers, payment access information, loyalty information and critical personal data right from their mobile device.
The mobile solution is based on soft token technology that supports strong authentication through a one-time password (OTP) using a single active credential. The token is ideal for consumer authentication applications and enterprises enabling access to commercial resources using two-factor authentication systems. Unlike current card and PIN number combinations that are used repeatedly – and are consequently less secure – an OTP-based system generates a new, unique password for each transaction. By downloading the software application onto a mobile device, consumers may securely retrieve and store personal data and information for offline access.
