Companies nCryptone and Inteligensa have joined their efforts to transform cell phones into authentication tokens that are simple to deploy and to use. The nC Mobile Token suite enables cell phones to be used as tokens, providing dynamic passwords, which will replace outdated static passwords. The software suite includes a software platform (nC Mobile Service Center) allowing large companies end users to manage, via a secure website, all the steps of the token life cycle. To complement it, a specific software, once received by the cellphone, calculates and displays on the screen a dynamic password (OTP), based on a highly secure algorithm: OATH. The launch of the calculation is done by entering a Pin code on a cellphone keypad, which constitutes the second factor of authentication. nC Mobile Token is compatible with all OATH-compliant servers.
