CSC has partnered with identity authentication technology and services provider Daon to produce a biometric multifactor authentication service for the banking industry. The product, called ConfidentID Mobile, provides in and out-of-band identity authentication for transactions in multiple channels, including online and mobile.

ValidSoft, a supplier of telecommunications-based fraud prevention, authentication and transaction verification products, announced its new partnership with Spindle Inc., a mobile commerce and alternative payment solutions provider to bring payments security products to U.S.-based customers.

SyferLock Technology Corp. has released iOS and Android versions of its GridSoftToken two-factor authentication product.

These versions expand GridSoftToken’s deployability, as it was previously only available for use with the Windows OS. The soft token technology lets users enable two-factor authentication to access systems protected by SyferLock GridGuard by using a mobile device as the second factor.

Motiv, an IT security specialist and reseller of authentication products by SecurEnvoy, has replaced its own hardware tokens with SecurEnvoy’s SecurAccess SMS and soft token two-factor authentication system.
