Entrust not only helps secure mobile identities and transactions, but also empowers organizations to leverage mobile devices to improve overall security and streamline business processes. Security controls are increased across all channels, enabling more convenience for employees and customers alike.
There is no debate that companies large or small are more or less have put a lot of efforts in protect digital security and privacy with “best practice” recommendations, often use solutions from branded security vendors or built by best in-house/outsourced experts, yet they are falling prey of cyber and insider attacks, because “compliance” or “best practice” do not equal to security. The reality has shown us that traditional security approaches have fall behind the increased system complexity and advanced technical capabilities that have been mastered by adversaries.
The key weakness in our security defenses lies with the weakness of digital identities systems have been used to authenticate users (no system could defends against attacker impersonates legitimate user); follow by inability to validate the authenticity and integrity of communication (If attacker can temper with the data freely, then no need to crack the one time password) and finally incapable of protecting information from unauthorized accesses in an event of inevitable security breach because unknown system or application security vulnerabilities.
FrontOne’s information security solution addresses all security weakness listed above:
First, FrontOne uses its own digital identity that is harden to withstand advanced hackers using sophisticated real time attacks and help all its users from falling prey of identity thieves from phishing and malware attacks at client side to advanced persistent threats at the server side, because FrontOne’s digital identity is dynamic and non-transferable.
Second, FrontOne provides 100% message integrity by using dedicated and destination aware messaging system and ensure each and every message is completely unique; reducing the chance of attackers from being able to identifying and manipulating it for their benefit.
Finally, FrontOne uses its own method of protecting information at rest, in transit or in use, by focusing our innovation at the security and integrity of encryption key while using industry standardized cryptography. FrontOne’s user centric data protection solution uses dual control for its encryption keys. Random encryption key is protected with security key that has two parts, one part from the client side and other from the centralized key server. This arrangement ensures that access to protected data is available with the presence of the user device of the authorized user.
The security approaches FrontOne have taken above are further strengthened with its own patented technologies that introduce a dynamic element is each and every message and transaction, mutually authenticate both parties before a request is served and providing user with ultimate control that is not accessible digitally.

IDENTITY PLATFORMS: How central, flexible, deployment of multiple authenticat...Entrust Datacard
Identity and authentication management, or IAM, represents the greatest security return on investment an organization can make. Former National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection, and Counter-terrorism for the United States, Richard Clarke, once famously said, "If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, then you will be hacked." Many analysts concur that spending on strong authentication provides the greatest security return on investment. This educational white paper, written by Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst at IT-Harvest and Executive Editor of securitycurrent, explores the concept of identity platforms.

The document summarizes the Dual_EC_DRBG cryptographic random number generator algorithm that was previously a NIST standard. It describes how the algorithm works by generating random numbers through integer point multiplication on an elliptic curve. However, the algorithm is suspect because there is an attack where an attacker who knows the secret elliptic curve parameters can determine the internal state of the algorithm and predict its random outputs. Therefore, the algorithm design is discredited and not considered cryptographically secure. Entrust does not use this algorithm in its products.

Phishing and spear-phishing attacks are now designed to deploy malware called man-in-the-browser (MITB) attacks. MITB malware takes over users' browsers and executes malicious transactions without detection. The document discusses how MITB attacks work, including infecting users' computers and then taking over online banking sessions. It also evaluates various active safeguards against MITB attacks, finding that out-of-band transaction confirmation plus one-time passwords can effectively thwart MITB by having users verify transaction details through a separate channel.
Zero to ECC in 30 Minutes: A primer on Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)Entrust Datacard
Elliptic curve cryptography uses points on elliptic curves as a basis for public-key cryptography. The document discusses:
1) Elliptic curves take the form y^2 = x^3 + ax + b and have certain geometric properties that allow points on the curve to be combined via an "addition" operation.
2) To perform computations, points must have discrete coordinates from a finite field rather than continuous real numbers. Commonly the field of integers modulo a prime p is used.
3) The set of points on the curve forms an abelian group under the addition operation, with the point at infinity as the identity element. Certain points can generate all other points on the curve.

Secure Authentication for Mobile Banking Customers with mVerify™M2SYS Technology
Mobile banking (mbanking) has quietly emerged as a critical and inevitable weapon in the ongoing battle to retain customers and reduce expenses. Mobile transactional costs are lower than desktop transactions and represent the fastest growing portion of the consumer financial
service business. In fact, many customers will willingly switch allegiances to financial service institutions that offer the convenience and speed of mobile banking versus brick and mortar transactions only.
However, the precipitous rise in mobile financial service applications comes at a cost. Many consumers are skeptical that mobile platforms and mbanking applications are equipped with the proper security measures to turn their phone into a strong authentication device. As
younger generations demand expanded mobile financial service applications, the need for the industry to demonstrate a commitment to increasing the security of these transactions is rising rapidly.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
