ACCODE
Accode Benefits
User Centric
ACCODE uses consumers' existing mobile handsets (personal and business), BlackBerry devices, PC, laptop or tablet computers, removing the inconvenience associated with
carrying a separate security token or having to change mobile handset in order to use the service.
Easy To Use
Accode can be delivered as a secure application or as an SMS solution, ensuring that the service is suitable for any user group regardless of
their choice of mobile handset or computer hardware. Once the user is registered, they simply open their VPN client or
portal, insert their username and four digit Personal Identification Number [PIN] followed by the secure two factor
authentication number delivered using Accode. The user is then allowed access to the corporate network or portal in
line with their user settings.
Cost Effective
ACCODE eliminates both the initial and replacement cost of dedicated hardware tokens (up to 15% of tokens are lost or
broken each year). Furthermore, as a software-based solution that integrates easily with existing IT infrastructures,
ACCODE reduces the total cost of ownership associated with a 2FA solution often by 60% or more.
High-Level Security
ACCODE is based on international banking-grade encryption technologies to provide the most secure 2FA passcode generator currently available
using the mobile handset.
Accode Advantages
Maximum Compatibility
Accode can be deployed on any mobile phone or BlackBerry, using either a secure Java application or as an SMS service, as well
any PC, laptop or tablet computer. Ongoing testing and development is undertaken alongside the Monitise/MONILINK
mobile banking and payments service to ensure that Accode is easily deployable across the entire range of devices
on the market today.
The ACCODE™ client application requires a data connection across the operator network. Occasionally handsets do
not have the correct data settings. If you are having difficulties downloading or using ACCODE™ please get the
latest settings for your handset and network operator, click and follow the instructions on the screen.
Mass Market User-Orientated Product
In addition to being easy to use, Accode uses very low volumes of data when generating a passcode, ensuring that
mobile data costs are kept to a minimum and that access can be granted even in low bandwidth environments.
Worldwide Coverage
ACCODE will work throughout the world, across any mobile operator network, home network roaming agreements
withstanding. Uniquely, even when outside network coverage, ACCODE will continue to generate secure passcodes
using secure algorithms.
Brand Sensitive
ACCODE can be fully personalized with corporate branding and images. This offers companies a unique opportunity to
provide what looks like their own OTP security service.
Simple Integration
ACCODE uses industry standard protocols such as RADIUS to integrate seamlessly with VPNs, SSL appliances, web
servers and directories (e.g. MS Active Directory). It does not require specialized hardware and can be installed
on a vast range of servers and platforms.
Easy Administration
The ACCODE administration console enables setting up of new users in a matter of seconds. A phone number
can be blocked if a mobile handset is lost or stolen. User access can be quickly revoked if necessary and
temporary users can also be set up for guest access.
