- Enhance customer trust in online transactions and
- Generate greater revenues by encouraging end-users to increase volume of online business.

The RSA SecurID® SID900 is a multi-function device that combines the industry proven features of the world-leading RSA SecurID hardware authenticator with a signing function to strongly protect business transactions. At a time when organizations are trying to mitigate risks associated with identity and data security breaches, the SID900 transaction signing authenticator can help reduce the risks associated with conducting online business and financial transactions while not compromising on usability and security. The handheld device is an ideal solution for retail and corporate banking institutions and other organizations that process
transactions where the legitimacy of the end-user’s identity is critical.

Stronger Security when Logging on.
Each RSA SecurID SID900 authenticator has a unique symmetric key that is combined with a powerful algorithm to generate a new code every 60 seconds. Because the number is unpredictable and dynamic, it would be extremely difficult for a hacker to guess the correct number at any given time. This everchanging code can be used in addition to a password forbadded security during the logon process.

Added Protection for Business Transactions.
Once the end user has signed on to their bank account, and has conducted a transaction, e.g. a funds transfer, the bank’s website generates a confirmation number (also known as a “challenge”). The end user enters that challenge number into the SID900 device and it generates a “response” value that displays on the device LCD. The end user then uses that response number as their unique digital signature to support the financial transaction. The application validates the signature against the transaction data and executes the transaction.

Portable and Easy to Use
The RSA SecurID SID900 authenticator is offered in a thin and durable form factor that comfortably fits into the palm of your hand. It has a single line display with PIN-pad functionality for great ease of use. The user interface has been designed to make it intuitive to understand and use right away, with minimal to no training required. This helps ensure high end-user adoption and satisfaction with minimal support calls to the IT help desk

Ease of Integration into Existing Infrastructure
The SID900 authenticator is compatible with RSA SecurID Authentication Engine, a lightweight and easy- to-implement authentication software solution. The Authentication Engine can easily integrate directly into an organization’s homegrown externally-facing applications. It is designed to fit into an organization’s existing infrastructure and simply validates a user’s identity using a passcode. It also validates the user’s “signature” when presented with a response value, as described earlier. For organizations that already have functions for user management, security policy, password management and reporting built into their applications, but want to add the ability for their end-users to use SecurID one-time-password tokens to log onto specific applications and protect sensitive business transactions, this lightweight software solution in conjunction with the SID900 authenticator is the ideal answer.

Key Benefits of RSA SecurID SID900:

Ease of Introduction into Banking Platforms. Some organizations are not interested in introducing PKI signing into their existing banking platform because it is a more complex
process. The RSA SecurID SID900 is designed to enable financial institutions to introduce signing capabilities for specific business transactions without having to significantly alter existing banking infrastructure.

Mitigation of Online Fraud. By allowing organizations to enable transaction signing, RSA SecurID transaction signing technology can help ensure that each financial and business transaction is an authentic event and is validated by the rightful initiator of the transaction. This helps mitigate fraud threats such as malware, which modifies the PC’s configuration to direct traffic to a fake site that modifies information and executes illegitimate transactions.

Increasing Customer Trust and Loyalty. Customers who are enabled with transaction signing capabilities are more inclined to trust the integrity of their online transactions and increase the volume and size of their future online transactions.

Assistance with Compliance Efforts. By adding an additional layer of security around business/financial transactions, it is much easier for financial institutions to establish an audit trail of financial activity and better protect customer information.
