This afternoon, Authentify demonstrated 2CHK, an application that:
“Establishes a separate, 2-way window into a user’s bank account from their mobile device or desktop. 2CHK permits a user to double check account transactions and approve or cancel them using controls provided by the app.Developed to combat MITM/MITB/Zeus SpyEye malware variants, the heart of 2CHK is its encrypted second communication channel established only when the user completes an out-of-band authentication with the application’s backend. Once established, the encrypted channel can be used to verify multiple transactions extending a financial institution’s ability to apply interactive OOB transaction verification against virtually all transactions types.”
