EMV in a Box

ABnote's EMV in a Box is designed to give financial institutions a rapid and cost effective migration, with minimal effort from your own organisation. It provides a solution for the introduction of EMV chip based cards and the migration of an existing portfolio of magnetic stripe cards to EMV.

EMV is a complex process. A fully tailored solution would take a minimum of 6 to 9 months to rollout of live cards. The issuer needs to commit to a high degree of participation in the project to ensure they achieve the required outcome. Without exception unforeseen complexities emerge which introduce delays and further commitments of resources.

EMV in a Box is designed to roll out live cards in three months, comprising seven simple phases from project scoping to testing and validation.

The package comprises:

  • EMV basic chip card
  • Printing of Card with mag stripe, hologram and signature panel
  • Card & carrier personalization
  • Mailing
  • 2 days technical consultancy
  • Project management
  • Detailed specifications
  • Key management

One Time Password

Today most enterprise networks, e-commerce sites and online communities require only a user name and static password for logon and access to personal and sensitive data. Although this authentication method is convenient, it is not secure because online identity theft using phishing, keyboard logging, man-in-the-middle attacks and other methods are increasing throughout the world.

ABnote offers a strong authentication system that uses a one-time password (OTP), to protect network access and end-users' digital identities. There are many ways and devices that are capable of generating one-time passwords. We offer a more advanced hardware token which uses microprocessor-based smart cards to calculate one-time passwords. These are supported by industry authentication standards such as MasterCard CAP (Chip Authentication Program) and OATH, a standard developed by the Initiative for Open Authentication.

Smart cards have several advantages for strong authentication including data storage capacity, processing power, portability, and ease of use. They are inherently more secure than other OTP tokens because they generate a unique, non-reusable password for each authentication event, store personal data, and they do not transmit personal or private data over the network.
