Confident Technologies Unveils New Mobile Authentication Technology

Confident Technologies has announced 'Confident Multifactor Authentication', a new approach to two-factor authentication that delivers an image-based authentication challenge to users' mobile phones for a more secure out-of-band authentication process.

Confident Multifactor Authentication provides a completely new and highly secure way to protect online businesses and their customers from fraud and Zeus-in-the-Mobile (Zitmo) attacks, by securing the second factor and verifying that it is in fact the legitimate user in possession of the mobile device and not another person who may have stolen the user's phone or is surreptitiously intercepting the authentication text messages.
