Masabi at Infosecurity Europe 2008

This week Masabi are at the Infosec show at London's Olympia demonstrating our mobile solution for secure ID jointly developed with our partner GrIDsure. If you're interested in having a chat about our work in this area or mobile encryption and security in general feel free to swing by the GrIDsure stand (No. G245) and ask for either Ben or Alex.

2FA demo in Cambridge on Wed 5th Sep

Two Factor Authentication systems have come under fire recently from hackers and researchers for a number of drawbacks and vulnerabilities:

1. Man-in-the-middle attacks are being successfully used against Banks using 2FA
2. Reports of more than 20% of Hardware tags are lost or broken
3. Expensive - and cumbersome for consumers
   
4. PIN codes can still be stolen by phishers, or Shoulder-surfers/cameras

In conjunction with GrIDsure, we have developed a mobile 2FA system which addresses these issues and has the following benefits:

1. Resistant to Man-in-the-middle
2. No additional Hardware
3. Resistant to PIN theft
4. Resistant to keyloggers/viruses/cameras/people watching the mobile or the PC
5. Many times stronger than PIN
6. Fraud Reactive
7. Still protects several transactions even if your phone AND your PC are compromised (I haven't heard of many systems that can claim that)
   
8. Simple and convenient, even 7 year old children can use it

We will be at the Cambridge Enterprise Conference on Wednesday 3rd September, along with GrIDsure, demonstrating Two Factor and Two Channel protection of purchases and logins that are suitable for protecting ATMs, Door entry, E-Commerce, VPN logins, On-Line Banking and more. Come along and see us if you are in the area. (previous live demonstration given at Mobile Monday )

We will post screenshots and a full description of the technology next month.

September 12th - Cambridge Wireless event: "Money Talks"

Money Talks! Have you ever sat at a mobile conference listening to a speaker and thinking 'Okay, but how can we make money out of this'?

12th September 2007 I'll be at Gonvile and Caius College in Cambridge giving a presentation about:

• Our experiences rolling out mobile applications with financial transactions in them
• Dealing with multiple languages and currencies
• Security requirements for mobile commerce, and common problems
• Security solutions for mobile commerce that attendees can use to monetise their products
• Demonstrating EncryptME, our 3kb RSA/AES security component for mobiles (of course)
