Samsung and PayPal select Nok Nok Labs
Nok Nok Labs announced that Samsung and PayPal have selected the company’s NNL™ S3 Authentication Suite to enable the new mobile payment system introduced at Mobile World Congress. The next Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone will enable seamless and secure mobile payments via an integrated Fingerprint Sensor (FPS). The S3 Suite from Nok Nok Labs allows both Samsung and PayPal to provide a simpler, more secure mobile shopping experience, leveraging the emerging FIDO™ standards.The NNL™Multifactor Client (MFAC) Mobile Edition (also called the “NNL FingerPrint Passport”) allows the Galaxy S5 Fingerprint Sensor to connect securely to online services, and will help Samsung enable users to authenticate any FIDO Ready™application with the existing security capabilities of their device. PayPal has deployed the NNL™ Multifactor Authentication Server (MFAS) to provide a unified and flexible authentication infrastructure that communicates securely with the NNL client on the Galaxy S5. Both Nok Nok™ products are FIDO Ready, meaning they have been certified by the FIDO Alliance.
