In July 2009, Communiqué PR began working with Aveso Displays, a developer of printed electronic displays for the credit and security card industry. The company’s solution can be used for One Time Password (OTP) technology. For those of you who are not familiar with OTP technology, it is often used by large enterprise companies or financial institutions to prevent fraud.

When I was working for AOL about ten years ago, the company gave us all security fobs (tokens) which issued a new digital password every sixty seconds. We wore these tokens on lanyards around our neck and when we needed to log into the corporate network, we were required to enter in the numbers so we could gain access.

OTP has proven to be a very effective solution, but Aveso Displays is making it even better. The company has figured out a way to put these electronic displays on laminated cards; so instead of wearing a lanyard, employees will get an OTP card which will fit in their wallets.

Communiqué PR is charted with driving awareness of Aveso Displays’ technology with credit card manufacturers, financial institutions, security platform providers and industry analysts. It is an exciting assignment and we look forward to keeping you in the loop on our progress.
