Thanks to SecureKey, users of the Royal Canadian Mint’s new cloud-based digital currency, MintChip, will have the benefit of multi-factor authentication when it comes to securely accessing their digital dollars and cents.
SecureKey’s briidge.net Connect Mobile SDK will be embedded into the MintChip mobile app. Authentication is based on a unique device ID that connects the unit to the user account in the cloud, and a four-digit PIN.
“(This deployment) offers an excellent example of how our briidge.net Connect service can make the benefits of strong, multi-factor authentication available in an extremely friendly way for consumer-facing mobile apps.Consumers will simply enter their QuickCode PIN on their mobile device to authenticate to their MintChip cloud account.”
