IPT) with AhnLab Online Security(AOS) solution. Through their

technology, which enables multi-factor authentication for consumers
and all size of businesses including internet banking.
“We are pleased to introduce AOS SecureAuth IPT technology

technology to AhnLab’s authentication solutions”, said HongSun Kim,
CEO of AhnLab. “With this successful collaboration, AhnLab will

solutions to make computing safer. Cooperation with Ahnlab is
another milestone we achieved to give internet users peace-of-mind
that there are safeguards in place to increase their online
protection.”
By providing the multi-factor authentication, leveraging
username and password, OTP (One-Time Password), and device (trusted
PC) authentication, ‘AOS SecureAuth IPT’ offers the highest level
of security and convenience of logging into banking or other
internet services with end to end protection, from your PC to
authentication server. With this technology, the users can safely
and easily log on their internet based services.
(Intel® IPT) is a tamper-resistant, two-factor authentication
technology which is offered on Ultrabook™ devices with third
generation Intel® Core™ technology (code named "Ivy Bridge"). It
helps prevent unauthorized access to your important personal and
business accounts while reducing the cost of traditional hardware
solutions. It also provides a simple way for web sites and
businesses to validate that a user is logging in from a trusted
PC.
Based on Intel® IPT, AOS SecureAuth IPT not only provides strong
authentication, but increases user convenience. As it generates OPT
automatically from an embedded processor – in Ultrabook™ PCs–,
users don’t need to input additional OTP to login. AhnLab also
offers automatic hardware-based OTP generating technology for
non-IPT or Ultrabook™ environment.
AhnLab’s AOS SecureAuth IPT technology can be implemented to any
internet-based services where the strong authentication and the
personal account protection is essential, such as internet banking,
ecommerce, online gaming and internal access for enterprises or
public organizations.
