According to the company, cited by online media outlet PR Web, the re-designed Virtual Token MFA product is now “language-intelligent”, automatically switching to the user’s preferred language based on settings configured within the user’s internet browser. Initially released with support for both English and Spanish, additional languages can be added using translated language pages.
Virtual Token Multi-Factor Authentication (also called Two-Factor Authentication) is a security process which replaces traditional hardware tokens and software token systems with a “virtual” token solution. Virtual Token multifactor authentication is currently used by many organizations including the US Department of the Treasury, R R Donnelley, The State of North Carolina and Banorte Bank.
Unlike traditional hardware and software token approaches, Virtual Token MFA does not require the user to install any software or carry any hardware. Instead, the process uses the existing browser, retrieving what the company describes as a “digitally signed HASDL key” from the browser. This key is then authenticated against the connected device’s “fingerprint”. Once the key has been authenticated, the process exchanges a one-time-use random “virtual” token number with the device.
