Transaction Confirmation

Although users expect and enjoy single sign-on for access to protected resources, for access to e-commerce applications where transactions have a legal or financial consequence, single sign-on is not sufficiently secure. There is a risk that the user, after signing in to a portal, might inadvertently leave the door open for others to inappropriately assume their digital identity.

For this reason, the Entrust solution provides a range of automated transaction confirmation options. This range includes basic security (such as requiring a repeat username/password confirmation at the time of transaction completion), to enhanced security (such as requiring the user to digitally sign the transaction contract, either directly or via their wireless device).
