Direct Authenticator-Virtual PIN Pad Smart Card
Hardware tokens are well established, but are known to be expensive to deploy and are easily misplaced since they are an additional device that the user needs to carry. The recovery process on lost Hardware Tokens can be lengthy and more importantly prevents users from accessing their applications, systems and portals.
The current trend and acceptance of smart devices is growing exponentially. This acceptance translates a shift to Software Tokens. Software Tokens can be easily deployed on any smart device.
Direct Risk Management (DRM) has developed proprietary technology for the emerging virtual credit card or virtual wallet, branded as the “DA-Virtual PIN Pad/Smart Card” The DA-Virtual PIN Pad/Smart Card has the same look and feel as DRM’s Authentication Smart Card except it is software based.
