Courbar is a Phone-based authentication system which leverages the user's telephone as the trusted device for the second factor authentication.

Across the world validation of banking transactions (read securitizing transaction) business has seen an explosion of growth over last year, especially of payment validations. Thus in today's times when fraudsters are coming up with the latest techniques it is rather a need of the industry to provide transaction security solution with a presumption that data (card / account) being in public domain is prone to compromises, in any form, when compared to other solutions available where emphasis is on protecting data.

Ekkay has been able to provide the banking client with a solution "Courbar" which has been created considering that despite the loss caused by data compromise, the transaction is protected. This creates an edge over the other solutions available.

Courbar is equipped to offer its unique Out Of Band Authentication security through two additional mediums making it an overall composite offering having an array of features in its functioning."Courbar "- is capable of securitizing transactions by offering both static and dynamic PIN's through a real time call and an SMS based OTP, enabling the client to control various transactions through his/her mobile phone with an option of Static/Dynamic PIN's through Calls as well as SMS thereby making it more secured.

Courbar provides 3 different options in its functioning with an array of special offerings under each of them as below:

1. Real-time call to the client followed by a confirmatory SMS - Call with Static
     Pin

• Validation through a real time call to the client asking him/her to punch in the static PIN
   followed by a confirmatory SMS to intimate the client.
• PIN is self generated by the client to be used by him/her to validate his/her transaction.
• Multiple transactions and operations but validation through single Static PIN.

2. Real-time Call to confirm the Dynamic PIN (OTP) to with the OTP visible on
     the screen.

• Dynamic PIN generated for each transactions.
• Cross validation by punching in the same PIN as visible on the screen.
• Authorization through same OTP by validation on different environments

3.Send out OTP through SMS to match with the onscreen OTP.

• Dynamic PIN generated for each transaction.
• Cross validation by punching in the same PIN as visible on the screen.
• Authorization through OTP delivered on the mobile phone as an SMS.

A FLEXIBLE FOUNDATION FOR RISK CONTAINMENT

Courbar's strong out-of-band authentication offers a robust, scalable platform for enterprises and consumers. With Courbar, users can choose the authentication method they prefer a Static PIN for verification delivered through a phone call followed by the confirmatory SMS notifying the action performed; a Dynamic PIN (OTP) through a phone call also for verification to be matched with the PIN appearing on the computer screen and an SMS based OTP to be put on the screen for verification; thus in all mediums validation is taken on a device used and owned by clients themselves. In all cases transaction verified can be mapped to particular users and/or levels of risk.

Option	Brief	Technology	User Adoption	Cost
Security Token	One of the more common two factor systems based on authentication tokens that a pseudo-random sequence of digits referred to as a One Time Password (OTP) . Tokens and other similar devices do not protect against emerging threats.	Two-factor across a single channel Integrates with a wide range of applications Optional user enrolment and management tools available	Users do not like carrying an extra device Security tokens are easy to lose or break with no readily accessible alternative	Significant upfront authentication hardware/software investment plus cost for initial and replacement devices High internal deployment and ongoing support costs.
Smart Card	Another common two-factor solution involves the use of smartcards. Smartcards are credit card-sized tokens that have an embedded private key that is protected by a PIN or password. This private key positively identifies the user to the system Like tokens, users are required to carry around a new object that they didn't have before. Cards must be provisioned, mailed, inventoried, replaced, and so on, creating similar logistical problems. And, since very few computers have built-in smartcard readers, an additional piece of hardware, including its drivers.	Two-factor across a single channel Limited Native Integration	Users do not like carrying an extra device Lockout issues are common	Significant upfront authentication hardware/software investment Cards and card readers must be purchased, deployed, and maintained High internal deployment and ongoing support costs
Certificates	Client certificates can be used as an additional layer of authentication, but are not a true second factor of authentication. A certificate is essentially a string of characters, which can be easily copied. A certificate is typically installed on the end user's PC. Each certificate can only be used to authenticate one particular user because only that user's computer has the corresponding and unique private key needed to complete the authentication process. This also limits the user's access to the device(s) where the certificate is installed.	Additional authentication but not true two factor. Support for a wide range of software application	User must install a certificate to their PC Access from unknown computer is not supported	Implementation Costs, then relatively low per user cost Software setup and configuration High costs to support end users

	Soft OTP	Courbar
Adaptability	Less reliability on SMS based tokens due to network latency and delivery issues. Limited scope of operations Token valid for a specific time and transaction only.	Authentication through real time call on client mobile Unlimited scope of operations through all banking channels and payment gateway. Self generated PIN though static suits client's impulsive nature of transactions.
Security	Transaction passes through same channel from where it gets initiated hence more vulnerable to penetration Cannot be termed as a real time notification due to limitations High dependability over the telecom provider for SMS services leading transmission of sensitive data on a highly vulnerable channel. Increases total transaction time due to dependability on SMS notification which cannot be a real time factor.	PIN is keyed in frequency based DTMF format, hence secured even in case of phone tapping. Real time call always gets precedence over SMS notification. Issuer directly communicates with Client with no sensitive data involved. With direct communication with Issuer and high capacity deliverance, scope available to increase scalability as per requirement.
Economics	Cannot replace other related costs like call centres for manual confirmation	Doest not only replaces call centre cost with significantly cheaper prospect but is also capable of providing same offerings at a reasonably lesser call rates.
