Equifax introduces Anakam Two Factor Authentication v5.0

Wednesday 15 June 2011 11:55 CET | News

US information services provider Equifax has made available its Anakam Two Factor Authentication v5.0 introducing authentication methods with remote identity proofing and professional credentialing.

Anakam Two Factor Authentication v5.0 includes hard or soft OATH tokens which are alternatives to the compromised tokens involved in several recent breaches. This expansion builds on the existing NIST Level 3 compliant authentication vectors such as SMS messaging, IVR, and voice biometrics which offer services for the broader customer, citizen, or patient-facing enterprise in a single platform.

Equifax, which holds the patent for knowledge-based authentication (KBA), serves as the underlying service for remote identity proofing used in Anakam Identity Services. This single, integrated platform provides risk-based identity verification and knowledge-based authentication to expedite provisioning for remote users.

Equifax bought the multi-factor authentication company Anakam in 2008 with the intention to combine its eIDverifier service with Anakams Identity Suite to create an integrated platform.
