RSA SecurIDs
E*Trade is about to begin a pilot program with a new security device to protect its customer accounts against unauthorized use and identity theft.
And it's the SAME device, we will be using with Protected E-Vaults.
BEST OF ALL, it's something that customers control. It's called an RSASecurID®. A small digital device that fits on a keychain that spins a new 6 digit number at random every sixty seconds, it provides a second layer of authentication in addition to a password. It's called two-factor authentication.
Just as a ATM machine requires a card and a password to access an account or to get cash, an RSASecurID® requires you to enter a password and the six digit number that currently appears on the screen.
RSA Security is the foremost security company in the country. RSA SecurID technology is already used by more that 15 million employees of businesses worldwide. Some even rumor that RSA SecurIDs are used by the CIA, and maybe even the President.
