Validus and HierStar Form Strategic Alliance to Offer the First Complete Range of Authentication ProductsSAN FRANCISCO and BEIJING, - Validus Technologies Corporation and HierStar Limited are pleased to announce that they have formed a strategic manufacturing, marketing and distribution alliance to offer the first complete range of One Time Password (OTP) authentication products to combat cybercrime in its various forms.
With increasing data breaches, which have created a global market for stolen static data, Validus and HierStar recognized the need to offer a complete and unique range of OTP authentication products to assist companies, governments and individuals in protection from identity theft.
The first complete and unique range of OTP authentication products are:
* VALIDcard(TM) Biometric: The world's first biometric powered display card that generates an OTP when the registered user swipes her finger over the embedded fingerprint sensor.
* VALIDotp(TM) Card: Non-biometric manufacturing from electronic assembly, card molding, printing personalization and fulfillment. In addition to HierStar's turnkey manufacturing capabilities, it owns significant intellectual property in the areas of low-cost thin flexible LCD displays, manufacturing processes and powered card molding.
"HierStar is a design, engineering and manufacturing company specializing in authentication technologies. Validus is an excellent match as a partner with their bio technologies and software solutions," said Robert Wilson, President of HierStar.
All three products have recently been released to the market and volume production is available for both powered card products.
Validus, headquartered in San Francisco, California, develops and markets its OTP authentication products to a range of companies and governments worldwide. In addition to providing the first complete range of OTP authentication products, it owns significant intellectual property in the form of issued patents and pending patent applications globally, in the areas of biometric powered cards, challenge response powered cards, wireless authentication systems and manufacturing processes.
"Our strategic alliance with HierStar provides an opportunity to work with a world-class engineering and manufacturing team.
