A look at Dynamic SSL – Technology Powering SmartSwipe

Posted by Shane Gross in Security

Dynamic SSL is an endpoint security technology that takes the end user's vulnerable computer out of the equation. That means your computer doesn't have any knowledge of the information being transferred. Therefore, it is the ideal way for sensitive information to be transferred. In its current formation SmartSwipe uses Dynamic SSL to transfer credit card information from an online shopper to the merchant site. Keyloggers, Spyware, memory sniffers and more are no longer able to retrieve credit card data.

The security aspect of SmartSwipe is great, but what really gets me excited is its compatibility. SmartSwipe can be used on almost all shopping sites.

How?

Dynamic SSL works seamlessly to complement and enhance the existing SSL encryption standard providing endpoint security without fundamentally changing the protocol or process.

With Dynamic SSL, organizations can continue to receive information in the widely accepted

SSL encrypted format without requiring a synchronized change between the organization and the end user. The fundamental difference in the process of implementing Dynamic SSL is that data is encrypted before it even enters the computer, thus eliminating the typical endpoint vulnerabilities and pre-encryption attacks at the personal computer.

I have posted the white paper of Dynamic SSL. What is not included in this (and what will be the subject of future white papers) is the phishing and Man-in-the-Middle attack protection that is offered by SmartSwipe.

But wait! There's more! (Let's hope we never do infomercials) SmartSwipe is easy to use! Conner Flynn of SlipperyBrick said "I was actually expecting some problems because I never used a device like it, but the beauty of your gadget is how easy it is to use."

If you are interested in purchasing SmartSwipe for yourself check out the Dell.ca site or our store.
