‘While the security of the MOTP (Mobile One Time Password)’ is threatened, a new solution with enhanced security has appeared.
G-Code Innovation (CEO Lim Yong-hoon) announced on December 15 that it released the `CQLock` which transmits the one-time password in a secret key image (SI), not a number.
The CQLock allows you to know the password if you use the image resembling the dial of a safe to turn the dial according to instructions as if you would open a safe. As the authentication information is delivered as a matrix in which fake images and numbers are mixed, even if hackers steal the data, they will not know the password. Even if someone takes a peek at the image-based personal authentication screen or hacks the keyboard, there is no knowing the password. As it is not based on Active X, no program is installed, and as the image is not saved in the terminal, it is safe. users can select food, figures, national flags or sports to modify the secret key image.
“The CQLock is a product that remedies all the shortcomings of the existing OTP,” said Lim Yong-hoon, CEO of G-Code Innovation. “It was applied to the affiliates of KG INICIS, a specialist in online electronic payment, on December 2.”
AirCUVE (CEO Kim Yoo-jin) introduced the V-Front that provides various kinds of security authentication, including images or fingerprint recognition, besides the MOTP.
The V-Front allows authentication of registered users only through terminals, and makes it possible to set up the time slot in which the one-time password is applied as desired. You can mix characters and arbitrarily set up the number of digits.
As this company introduced wireless authentication for the first time in Korea, it is very stable and reliable too, which is a definite plus. Since its release this year, it has been used in over 10 large corporations, including SK, Hanwha and Naver.
“New authentication, combining the existing ID and password with OTP, is in,” said Kim Yoo-jin, CEO of AirCUVE. “The strengths of the V-Front are its technology based on wireless authentication and consumer-oriented authentication.”
