 Over one million Barclays Bank customers now use its
PINsentry™
smart card reader, which offers stronger authentication for
online banking. Since the deployment of Gemalto’s solution not one
PINsentry customer has suffered fraud. User feedback has proven
extremely positive with customer acceptance 30% higher than
anticipated.
With
PINsentry, Barclays customers generate One-Time-Passwords to
authenticate themselves at log in, and also use it to sign
transactions, by inserting their usual chip-enabled bank card into
the reader and typing in their card PIN code. This provides a much
higher level of security than authentication using static
credentials.
