UniMate Flex is an interactive hybrid mobile authentication token designed particularly for use in banking. The two-factor authentication device makes use of a high-performance smart card, a LED display and confirmation buttons to verify the secondary form of authentication. Users can visually confirm transaction information on-screen and press the confirmation button to approve only authorised transactions.
UniMate Flex features PKI based digital certificate and private key storage, as well as on-board encryption, with the ability to generate and store RSA secret key pairs within the key.
