VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP) Authentication Service helps mitigate risk and maintain compliance with a scalable, reliable two-factor authentication platform delivered without the high cost of infrastructure and operations.
Two-factor authentication (or strong authentication) combines something you know (such as a username and password) with something you have (a credential such as a card, token, or mobile phone). VIP Authentication Service provides validation for “something you have” to enable strong authentication of your end users. With VIP Authentication Service, the end user experiences a fast response and the assurance that their identity is protected by an added layer of security.
Our flexible platform is highly available, scalable and reliable, leveraging VeriSign’s expertise in running on-demand, critical Internet infrastructure globally. With VIP, the end user’s identity information stays within the enterprise; only the security code and credential ID pass anonymously to VeriSign for validation.
VIP Authentication Service supports a range of OATH-compliant credential form factors to meet the diverse needs of end users. Enterprise customers who use VIP have immediate access to the most convenient and cost effective form factors available for employees, business partners and customers. Freely available credentials for mobile handsets and PC desktops dramatically reduce the total cost of ownership for typical two-factor authentication solutions. VeriSign also offers the most deployed and innovative hardware credentials including RSA tokens and credit card-sized credentials.
End Users may use their VIP credential on any participating Web site that displays the VeriSign Identity Protection logo. VIP Network Members include eBay, PayPal, AOL and more.
