ActivIdentity Solo Reader

A portable reader for smart cards, enabling authentication anytime and anywhere

ActivIdentity Solo Reader provides a convenient way to use EMV™ cards with MasterCard® CAP v2 for secure e-banking transactions. Banking organizations can rely on EMV’s capabilities for protecting user activity through strong authentication and transaction signatures.

With Solo Reader, users can participate in secure banking without installing client software or a smart card reader on their computer. Banks can also deploy Solo Reader configured with a clock and the ActivIdentity patented 3 variable algorithm based on time plus event. Adding the time variable significantly reduces the effectiveness of a hacking or phishing attempt.
