Mobile Merchants to Conduct Business Anytime Anywhere Without Changing Phones or Carriers

ROAMpay Chose CircleSwipe because of it's ability to

encrypt the Track 2 data

Ingenico, the global leader in secure transaction and ayment solutions, continues its innovative path to provide business owners and merchants with the most secure and scalable mobile commerce solutions.



Today (March 2nd 2010) the company introduced Ingenico ROAM suite of mobile applications including ROAMpay and ROAMbuy to help sales agents, mobile workforce professionals, and merchants reach and service consumers on their own mobile phones.



"Ingenico's mobile applications work on virtually any mobile phone and allow merchants to leverage their existing investment in mobile technology without changing phones or networks," said Christopher Justice, president, North America. "Mobile Commerce represents the ultimate convenience for mobile users to conduct business anytime anywhere. Our products provide a robust and agile mix of mCommerce services including credit and debit payment acceptance, mobile storefront, and customized enterprise business applications to end users." 

Recently Ingenico made a global strategic investment to work with ROAM Data Inc., a Boston-based mobile application service provider and their technology to deliver a breakthrough mobile commerce solution. ROAM's patented technology enables it to be the only provider to dynamically deliver business and payment applications to nearly 200 million US customers, regardless of carrier on hundreds of different devices from smartphones to feature phones running J2ME and Brew.

Ingenico ROAM offers merchants and mobile professionals complete freedom of choice to develop mobile commerce applications that work on the iPhone, BlackBerry®, Google™, and hundreds of other devices. Unlike static, device-specific applications that are costly and difficult to change, Ingenico ROAM is a scalable service that can be changed quickly and easily. For example, when Google™ released the nexus one™ phone, Ingenico had a working application released within two days. The ROAMpay application can be downloaded from the iTunes® App Store or directly accessed on Ingenico ROAM website at www.ingenico-us.com.

"Ingenico benefits our bank and ISO partners by simplifying the sales message to the merchant. There are no complicated discussions about changing phones and carriers. Our partners gain processing revenue quickly and add value to their merchants by offering a unique suite of mobile commerce applications that can run on their existing devices," continued Justice.

"We're making it easy for both banks and ISOs to enable their merchants to accept payments to gain a competitive edge."

Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile Press Release

Entrust Brings Strong Authentication to Mobile Devices - Versatile Authentication Platform Secures Consumer and Enterprise Environments



Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile enables strong enterprise authentication while protecting against latest malware threats



DALLAS, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- No matter the type, size or vertical focus of an organization, Entrust, Inc. secures identities with one of the broadest ranges of authentication options on the market today - and all from a single strong authentication platform. With the newest release of Entrust IdentityGuard, Entrust will add the innovative Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile application, which seamlessly authenticates consumer, corporate or enterprise users using many of today's most popular smartphones.

"The consistent value of this proven platform remains its versatility and cost-effectiveness," said Entrust President and CEO Bill Conner. "We continue to add new strong authentication methods to Entrust IdentityGuard, with a focus on ease of deployment and use in any environment. And the addition of Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile places yet another proven authenticator on a device end-users already use as part of their everyday life."

Entrust IdentityGuard - Easy to Use

From transparent device authentication, unique grids cards to innovative means of leveraging smartphones for strong authentication, the newest release of Entrust IdentityGuard expands on its foundation of offering the most efficient, easy-to-use authentication methods on the market today. The platform approach allows the deployment of different authenticators based on unique requirements, increasing user acceptance and reducing usability impact.

"A good authentication method will be sufficiently easy to use that it will be accepted by users as part of the tasks they perform: The easier the method, the more likely they will acknowledge it as a part of doing business - and not seek to bypass it," said Ant Allan in a December 2009 Gartner report.(1)

Smart Authentication for your Smartphone

A key addition to the Entrust IdentityGuard versatile authentication platform, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile is an innovative new mobile identity application that allows organizations to strongly authenticate customers, partners and enterprise users via a smartphone device. Whether for consumer, government or enterprise environments, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile represents a cost-effective, easy-to-use approach for authenticating any end-user.

Leveraging secure out-of-band techniques, and without requiring any specialized hardware, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile provides unique capabilities to help defeat the latest malware threat affecting online-banking users - man-in-the-browser. And while it's proven to do just that, it is equally effective as a strong authentication capability for enterprise VPN access, Web portal access or corporate desktop security. Helpful options include the ability to store and save transaction history, as well as enabling deploying organizations to easily incorporate their brand into the application.

Identities in the Enterprise

Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile provides strong authentication that easily fits into the enterprise, including support for remote access, Web, and desktop strong authentication for enterprise and government initiatives. The smartphone application can manage multiple identities on a single device, making it one of the most versatile and easy-to-use soft tokens available on the market today.

Entrust Stops Man-in-the-Browser

Coupled with Entrust's proven fraud detection platform, Entrust IdentityGuard helps enable three highly deployable and effective capabilities for thwarting man-in-the-browser malware - behavioral and transactional fraud detection; SMS authentication with transaction details; and mobile out-of-band transaction verification and signature.

Without requiring any specialized hardware, Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile securely provides one-time-passcode authentication in combination with seamless out-of-band delivery of transaction details. This combination helps defend against man-in-the-browser malware - efficiently and without user inconvenience.

Popular Mobile Platforms

Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile is designed to operate with today's leading smartphone platforms, including the Apple iPhone, RIM BlackBerry, Microsoft Windows Mobile and Symbian (Java). The new mobile authenticator will be available in summer 2010 as part of the release of Entrust IdentityGuard 9.3.

Most Authenticators, Single Solution

Entrust enables organizations to layer security - according to access requirements or the risk of a given transaction - across diverse users and applications. Entrust's authentication capabilities include username and password, IP-geolocation, device, questions and answers, out-of-band one-time passcode (delivered via voice, SMS or e-mail), grid and eGrid cards, digital certificates (in software or on smart cards/USB Tokens) and a range of one-time-passcode tokens, including Entrust IdentityGuard Mobile. Entrust also provides multiple methods of supporting mutual authentication, including picture and caption replay as well as Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates.
