Widespread Adoption of ‘Social Tokens’

Edinburgh – January 6th 2005 – Prime Business Solutions and Identrica today announced a sales and support partnership to further the use of mobile handsets as socially acceptable two factor personal identification tokens for secure electronic systems access such as WEB Banking, E-Retailing and remote access applications.

Additionally, Prime Business Solutions has launched a sales and marketing campaign around the concept of ‘Social Tokens’. Its efforts will be focused on communicating with the banking and E-retailing business community to promote the concept of using the now ubiquitous mobile phone handset as a device to provide a second level of authentication to electronic systems, with no additional cost to the phone user, and with little or no technology footprint for the bank or retailer.

Chris Gabriel, Security Business Director at Prime comments, “Two factor authentication using specific hardware token devices just does not scale into the mass market banking and retailing sector, and yet the consumer and the service provider are desperate to increase the security of online transactions and therefore further clarify user identity. The mobile phone has become a part of all our lives in recent years, and it uniquely identifies us as individuals with our 11 digit personal phone number. In harnessing the existing security offered by bankers and retailers with a simple no-cost call to a personal security phone number, it is now possible to deploy widespread two factor authentication without the cost, complexity, or confusion that arises with specialist hardware tokens. Prime is pleased to be working with Identrica to take this concept to the UK market and work to improve the security and identification of critical commercial applications.”

“Consumers’ confidence in making transactions online has been dented recently by ‘phishing’ and similar scams,” noted John Brand, Managing Director of Identrica. “Now we can provide a commercially viable way for banks and e-retailers to offer robust, two-factor authentication to their customers without the expense and administrative overheads of hardware tokens or digital certificates.”

Brand continues, “Identrica is delighted to be working with Prime Business Solutions, who have exactly the knowledge and experience of the Finance and Banking sector to match our technology to the market’s needs.”

About Identrica

The Identrica Authentication System turns a standard mobile phone into a “token” to replace smartcards, USB tokens or “authenticators”. This provides strong, two-factor authentication – so that a user has to show that he or she not only knows a password, but also physically possesses something unique to them. Identrica authentication can be provided either as a fully managed service or as a “stand-alone” application. Identrica Limited has been providing IT security software and consultancy since 1996. Since 2000 the company has concentrated on user authentication, developing the X Identity USB token in 2001 and the technology behind the mobile phone based Identrica system in 2003. The company’s headquarters are in Edinburgh and its development office is in Olney, Buckinghamshire.
