New display cards from G&D offer enhanced security for online banking and online payments
Munich, November 24, 2010 - Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) has expanded its product portfolio, adding two new display card models that make online banking and online payments even more secure. Presented in a compact credit card format, these innovative products offer the ability to dynamically generate one-time passwords for online applications at the touch of a button, with the passwords appearing on a flexible display embedded within the card. This new G&D solution gives conventional electronic payment cards an additional, innovative security function for online banking and online payments.
By deploying G&D's new display cards, financial institutions can provide their customers with additional security solutions for online banking and online payments by introducing the concept of dynamically generated one-time passwords (OTPs), which users enter in addition to their usual login name and password. Access is not granted until the OTP has been successfully verified. The additional authentication provided by a one-time password ensures that the user is in possession of the card in question.
In addition to the GDC4004 card model, which only provides the OTP authentication function, G&D also offers the GDC5120 display card model which incorporates additional features and payment functions. This more advanced model is capable of completely replacing existing electronic payment solutions such as traditional debit and credit cards. Users benefit from the ability to use just one card to go shopping in the high street, purchase items online, and carry out secure online banking.
Axel Deininger, Head of the Payment division at G&D, comments: “Security issues are increasingly coming to the fore in online banking. Our new card solutions are designed for consumers who are looking for enhanced security in an easy-to-use format. Banks and credit institutions benefit from a high degree of flexibility and an additional authentication system that is easy to integrate. G&D's new display cards fulfill all the market requirements, offering a solution that can be introduced both rapidly and cost-effectively.”
The new cards correspond to the ID1 format used by virtually all standard payment cards. Even though the card body is only around 0.8 millimeters thick, it comfortably integrates all the additional components. One-time passwords are generated by simply pressing a touch-sensitive area of the card's surface. The one-time passwords appear on a six-digit, seven-segment, ultra-slim display that is flexible enough to be embedded flush in the card body. The cards are designed to have a service life of at least three years.

Press release from the SEPIA European technology project
ARM, Brightsight, Giesecke & Devrient, Graz University of Technology, Infineon Technologies
European Specialists Team Up to Define Security Standards for Next-Generation Mobile Devices
Graz, Austria. November 2, 2010 – Five partners from industry and academia have joined forces in a European research project, SEPIA (Secure Embedded Platform with advanced Process Isolation and Anonymity capabilities), to define security standards for next-generation mobile devices including high-end cell phones and tablet devices. As financial services, such as banking and payment, become increasingly accessed from mobile devices, it becomes increasingly critical to provide secure, certified cell-phone platforms to ensure such sensitive applications are efficiently protected from security threats. The SEPIA research project brings together ARM, Brightsight, Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) and Infineon Technologies, and is coordinated by Graz University of Technology (Austria). The project is co-financed by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
Mobile devices play an ever more critical role in our personal and professional lives today. They are increasingly used to access banking, location-based services, and social networking sites. Protecting people’s security, privacy, and identity on these devices is therefore a mounting concern. At present, however, there is no common security level across cell phone platforms and the technology varies widely. Set up to run for three years, the SEPIA research project aims to address this by developing new security enhancements and certification methodologies for mobile device platforms.
Herbert Reul, chair of the European Parliament committee on Industry, Research and Energy, confirms: “SEPIA addresses an ever more pressing security problem that is receiving increased attention on the European level, especially regarding mobile applications like eBanking”.
For the consumer, SEPIA should allow execution of security-critical applications such as electronic banking, location-based services, and social networking on cell phones, while ensuring that personal and confidential data such as usernames, passwords, location, and banking and payment details are stored and processed within a separate trusted environment. The expected outcome of SEPIA is that these security-critical applications will run in a protected and isolated environment, alongside other services such as games and software downloads, without risk of being affected by viruses, Trojans, or other malicious software.
From a technical viewpoint, the SEPIA project will be based on a mobile platform combining ARM® TrustZone® technology, which creates a protected area in advanced systems-on-chip, and the high-security MobiCore© operating system developed by G&D. The interplay between TrustZone and MobiCore ensures that if online services incorporate security-sensitive functions - for instance payment transactions - it is not possible for malware on the phone to manipulate username and password entries via the keypad or data output on the display.
Drawing on its expertise in hardware-based security, Infineon is contributing next-generation technology to allow secure storage of user credentials and passwords, thus adding further security to the new mobile platform. Brightsight will develop novel and cost-effective certification methods that allow mobile platforms to be certified incrementally, thus achieving short time-to-market cycles. The Institute for Applied Information Processing and Communications (IAIK) of Graz University of Technology is responsible for the scientific aspects of the project, including techniques to preserve anonymity and the development of security mechanisms for future cell phone processors.
The SEPIA project receives funding from the European Union’s FP7 scheme. It supports Europe’s foothold as a leading innovator in the sphere of mobile technology. SEPIA will make it easier to establish cross-platform, common security concepts and SEPIA’s new approach to security evaluation will reduce time-to-market.

Appears the market is more than disgruntled that (as per Dell), we aren't still at anything like parity with HP - as alluded to by Steven a while back. Eom
wavxmaster! - Please re-read my post msg# 197136 – I'm now owning more shares than ever!Eom
Snackman!- Thanks! eom
Snackman! - Please read your post from me please, unlike Domo I sold and re-bought wavx and increased my original holdings.
Remember I was one of Weby's nutters who put it all into the 29-35 cents tank!!! Jeeeze eom
Donald! - (Senior moment)Twas a tad earlier than stated - late March I believe eom
pont!- Truth was that I was stuck over in France with my new Iphone, discovering new free realtime dealing possibilities. And also needed to increase my holdings. Eom
1260! - Around six weeks ago, on a whim, I sold out my entire position (when we were up in the fours, solely because I thought we were getting a bit overpriced) problem was that selling stock (in gentle 10k lots) seemed to be possible only as the price surged.
Again two weeks later (3.20) buying back my position +, was only possible when the price tanked, as far as I’m concerned it appears that wavoid stories of stock being restricted in ways is quite real.
I would urge all longs to bear this in mind in any future dealings, or until perhaps more share are issued. Eom
Pain is temporary, glory (wavx) is forever. Amen
1260! - Well stated! eom
Looks like another bored yawn from the markets. Eom

Hey Greygor! - Glad to have you aboard pal, in this period we're excited over closed doors apparently opening up everywhere, wavoids here can be a little jumpy at times but events are usually covered by SKS's strategic news releases IMO. Eom
Snacks! - Hesitancy has been one of Waves stumbling blocks to date, if customers aren't totally comfortable with the complete picture then hesitancy will surly prevent buttons being pushed, although I thought Brian came over well perhaps we should listen more to some of the frustrations of our newbie members, as there must be a correlation here to the negotiations with present interested parties. Easyspeak as demonstrated by Steven at the Needham presentation was easily understood by many. Eom
