Beacon Software CEO, Jack Fullen announced today that the online banking company has added significant new enhancements to its multi-factor authentication protocol through a new technology alliance with GlobalCrypto.

“Our new partnership will allow Beacon to use GlobalCrypto’s unique embedded cryptographic information in a digital image and exchange pieces of that image between a user and the application. This will provide Beacon’s community bank customers an even higher level of strong authentication and a ‘best in class’ solution”, Fullen said.

GlobalCrypto’s RealMe℠ suite of products is the only software on the market to embed cryptographic information in a digital image of the users’ choice, and exchange pieces of that image between a user and Web application for PKI-strength, bi-directional authentication. All encrypted information between a Web application and an end user must “match” before a transaction can proceed. RealMe℠ software requires no tokens, SSL certificates, hardware and little or no end-user software, making it significantly easier to install, maintain and use than other solutions.

“Online banking is an important segment for GlobalCrypto and we are delighted to be working with a company like Beacon Software,” said Todd Merrill, GlobalCrypto Chief Executive Officer. “We look forward to supporting Beacon Software as they rollout our RealMe℠ solution to their customers across the country,” added Merrill.
