The Nordic Edge mobile client Pledge is now available with the Verisec
authentication server Freja. With Pledge, users can generate oneĀtime passwords
on their mobile devices which they can use to secure log in to local networks,
cloud services or Internet banks.
Pledge is a mobile client application used to generate one-time passwords (OTP)
based on the OATH algorithm. The one-time password is used to achieve strong
authentication to services. Pledge can be used as a complement to existing
authentication methods (such as hardware tokens, SMS authentication or
certificates) or act as a stand-alone authentication method.
The client software can handle multiple, simultaneous logins on different
servers, so only one client is required on the phone even if the user needs to
log on to several connections at the same time. Pledge comes with a signing
functionality, so the phone can be used for example to sign inquiries from a
customer service, to sign transactions, or for auction bidding.
- Using the mobile phone as your security device is a great way for users to
get a high mobility while simultaneously keeping high security standards. Pledge
is easy to use and is simple, cheap and efficient to enroll to a high number of
users, says Tord Fransson, Product Manager Nordic Edge.
Nordic Edge has over the past year produced mobile clients for the world's
most popular mobile phones such as Blackberry, iPhone and Android phones. Pledge
is also available for Windows Mobile and for phones supporting Java Micro
Edition.

Freja is an OATH compliant authentication server for medium to large
deployments of strong authentication. Freja can be used together with Pledge and
any OATH compliant devices allowing for maximum freedom in choosing form factors
for authentication adapted to security and user requirements.
In addition, Freja supports extended authentication using EAS (Employee
Authentication Service) for local and central government in the UK. By extending
the use of EAS to allow remote access with EAS issued tokens, benefits from the
enrollment and registration processes can be maximised.
- With the Pledge client new and existing customers can combine or replace
traditional token devices with the flexibility and ease-of-use offered by a
mobile client. Combining the use of the mobile phone with an OATH based token
allows our customers to combine high security and high usability in a cost
effective solution, says Johan Henrikson, CEO Verisec.
During the past year Verisec has expanded into the UK marketplace, combining
strong authentication for medium size to mass market applications based on open
standards.
