Internet fraud prevention and authentication provider TeleSign has teamed up with Intel Corp. for a secure two-factor authentication product targeted to consumers and enterprises.
The collaboration pairs Intel Identity Protection Technology (Intel IPT) with TeleSign Two-Factor Authentication so that it can be offered beyond Intel Ultrabook devices and the third generation of Intel Core vPro-powered laptops.
The technology uses the factors of “something you know,” a username and password, and “something you have,” a mobile phone, landline or Intel Ultrabook to authenticate a user. This authentication method helps companies with e-commerce or banking aspects to know the consumer is coming from a trusted source.
