OTP Technology --- Info Salons China Applied New Technology on Data Security
As We all know, the security of client’s database, especially the visitor database, is of the utmost concern for a registration company. Due to the adoption of the One Time Password token (OTP), Info Salons China now can ensure that all client data is kept as securely as people like to keep their financial records.
With the adoption of OTP, access to client databases managed by Info Salons requires the entry of a user name, password and now the entry of a unique number generated by the token. An algorithm is used to generate a number which is specific to the date and time. The company’s software understands this, so access is only permitted if the number from the token matches the number calculated by software on Info Salons’ servers, and only limited to the database to which the user should have access.
Info Salons China believes that its implementation of OTP tokens may be the first in the exhibitions industry. It remains highly unusual in any business sector outside the world of financial services.
