Will GrIDsure help fight software threats like spyware, key-logging, screen-scraping and Man-In-the-Middle attacks?
GrIDsure can be used as an ingredient in a wider security strategy to make life much more difficult for the fraudster and significantly reduce the threat. There are a number of different ways in which GrIDsure can be implemented depending on the threat level. There are GrIDsure products which will the above issues. For example, if you needed to login on an “insecure” computer. A GrIDsure application on a mobile phone could act as a high-security code generator. Key-logging/screen-scraping wouldn’t help the fraudster one bit. Your phone would become a kind of “super token” as even if a thief stole it, he couldn’t read the code. Because only you know the PIP, only you can read the code! For man-in-the middle attacks, we do have a variety of methods using out-of-band techniques which will thwart such attacks.
