Recently,
Internet Banking becomes more and more popular, users can log on to
their online accounts with their usernames and passwords, to perform
different kinds of transaction - including checking the balance etc.
But, if you disclose your username and password accidentally. e.g.
You may have written the username and password onto a notebook but
later on that notebook is lost. Then, others may have the chance to
embezzle your account. Is there any way to enhance the security of
the login process? Yes, one way is to add one more
user-authentication mechanism to the login process. e.g. HSBC
recently starts to distribute “Security Tokens”, which is a small
portable device, to their online banking customers to enhance the
login security. During logon, besides the username and password, the
users need to enter an extra “One Time Password” (generated by
the Security Token) correctly so that they can successfully log on to
their online accounts. In this way, the security of the login process
can be greatly enhanced. This technology is also applicable to
different kinds of remote access login for companies, such as remote
email checking and remote monitoring.
