RSA expands identity assurance portfolio

RSA, the security division of EMC announced the worldwide availability of its
SecurID 1100 display card, an event-based, one-time password (OTP) authenticator
in a flexible card form-factor, designed to help financial institutions and
their customers secure online accounts and transactions with two-factor
authentication.

A new addition to RSA's growing portfolio of identity assurance solutions
that balance risk, cost-of-ownership and convenience, the RSA SecurID display
card can be carried in a wallet or purse, helping to solve the problem faced by
financial institutions of how to ensure that their customers are protected by
strong authentication in an easy-to-use manner. With the push of a button, a new
one-time password is generated on the card's display, providing organizations
with two-factor authentication capabilities designed to protect consumers'
online financial transactions-including account access, bill pay, and money
transfers.
