Worldwide Sites
As consumers store information and transact business online, they demand both easy and secure access from the companies they trust with their finances, health care, entertainment, and more. VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP) Authentication Services enable strong authentication with the most recognized trust brand on the Internet.
How VIP Authentication Services Works
Strong authentication, also called two-factor authentication, combines something you know (such as a username and password) with something you have (a credential such as a smart card, token, or mobile phone). VIP Authentication Services provides the validation for "something you have."
The consumer’s identity and transaction information stays within your system; only the security code passes anonymously to VeriSign for validation. The consumer experiences a fast response and a more secure connection. You can add a two-factor authentication option to your consumer network without a costly infrastructure investment.
Easy to Use
VeriSign realizes that consumers have different behaviors and preferences when it comes to their individual online experiences. VIP Authentication Services supports a range of OATH-compliant credential form factors. Choose from credit card sized credentials, tokens, even mobile phone credentials to provide the most convenient, cost-effective option for your consumers.

The VIP Network Effect
Instead of using a different credential for each online account, consumers can carry one credential for secure access to any Web site that displays the VIP logo. By joining the VIP Network, your organization becomes a VIP Member (one that accepts the VIP Credential). This mutually beneficial trust network provides convenience with greater security to consumers.
VIP Developer Test Drive
The VIP Test Drive for Developers gives developers access to the APIs that are being used in real-world deployments, but in a pilot environment. The pilot accounts are shared with other pilot accounts to simulate the advantages of shared authentication in a network. OTP or security codes are generated via software tokens.
The VIP Test Drive for Developers showcases the ease of use and deployment of the APIs used by the members of the VIP Network in integrating online applications with the VIP Authentication Service.
