Project description
Mobile phones can fight against cybercrime
Cybercrime is a lucrative economic activity. Hackers are constantly searching for ways to penetrate simple or sophisticated security systems. As a consequence, online transactions face serious threats and new security technologies are needed for the protection of both the private and the public sector. The EU-funded StrongPIN project is a special digital access solution that transforms mobile phones into extremely secure tools. The solution is low cost and easily operable while it combines two factor authentication (2FA) methods in just one application. It offers the highest cryptography levels in mobile phones. It is hardware that is provided at a pilot stage to banks, telecommunication operators and trust service providers.
