do small purchases or transactions online,
etcetera. For this type of users, there is a security

REGISTRATION & ACTIVATION
The registration of Digipass® for web users
is easy and similar to the typical enrolment for
static password systems. The user completes a
registration form, comprising his user ID, e-mail,
password, secret question and secret answer.
After registration an activation e-mail is send
to the user, including an activation link. During
activation, the user receives a secure login applet
-in which he has to enroll his password- and a
“cookie” with the Digipass secret is installed on
the user’s PC. From that moment on Digipass for
WEB is ready for usage.
Digipass® for web supports One-Time
Password generation and Data Signing
functionality, leveraging the proven DIGIPASS
algorithms. The security concept of Digipass®
for web is based upon the knowledge of a
password and the possession of a (Digipass)
secret stored in the user’s PC. The operational
Digipass® for web product consists of a Java
Applet -which is downloaded when needed- and
a password protected “cookie” comprising the
Digipass secret. To ensure a low ‘total cost of
ownership’, Digipass® for web is leveraging
sophisticated concepts for user self-registration
& activation and secure self-servicing (e.g.
password reset, registration, ‘Question & Answer’
management).
USAGE
For a secure log-on to a website or for
transaction or document signing the web server
sends a webpage, comprising a secure applet, to
the browser of the user. The user is requested to
enter his password. After password validation, the
secret Digipass® key stored in the “cookie” is
revealed and used in combination with the applet
to perform requested security functions.
VALIDATION
The validation of one time passwords and
signatures generated by Digipass® for web is
done with VASCO’s VACMAN® Controller, similar
to all other Digipass family members. To simplify
integration in the Web server Digipass® for web
is delivered with the necessary framework (webpages, scripts, etc.).
No software installation is required on the
end-user’s PC.
