Online authentication outfit Vasco has launched a Proton-compatible version of its Digipass 800 secure smart card reader, to be jointly marketed by Proton World.
Proton cardholders should be able to use the device to perform multiple-application smart card transactions, such as Internet banking, without the need for any other smart card reader, terminal, or software, the companies claim.
Digipass 800 is slightly larger and thicker than a standard bank card, with a numeric keypad and two-line LCD display, and incorporates Vasco's authentication and digital signature security technology, designed to protect sensitive information and safeguard transactions.
