The security token generated by

To improve security banking was introduced this device from the name token.
Many of you maybe have him, but do not know how you call.
San Paolo Bank was among the first to adopt it and after the merger with Banca Intesa, but it has adhered to this security system.
Called o-key, its generic name is token.
Generates a unique numeric code used only for access and that is regenerated every time you press the ‘key.
You wondering how you may make a token and server coordinate bank?
It may seem complicated, but in truth is a simple mechanism and hard “crakkabile”.

The generator of passwords does not “talk” with the server of the bank, but also manage to synchronize with a particular algorithm, which generates a numerical key, only to a given time and for a given user.
At the same time the server is running the same process, linking it to the user.
If the code between the server and token are the same: connection made.
I remember that there is no lock information 100% secure.
Must be considered that can be a good reason for discouragement for those who want to try to take possession of our data using procedures hackers.
As always I write: always given much attention to procedures carried out and if you’re not sure.
