"We've proven this approach in custom implementations and are now making it more broadly accessible with the addition of several standard cryptographic options that simplify and speed deployments for banks and other users that need a highly secure transaction environment in this era of frequent and sophisticated cyberattacks."If you are interested in attending the connect:ID 2016 conference or exhibition, click here to purchase a conference pass or here to visit the free-to-attend exhibition.
