The Nordea Bank was selected by Rutoken for storage of the EDS keys

The Aktiv company, the developer of software and hardware tools of authentication Rutoken, completed the first stage of the project on delivery of a batch of the tokens designed to provide authentication of users of a system "Bank Client" of JSC Nordea Bank and to guarantee safe storage of the EDS keys.

A system "Bank Client" was implemented for quality improvement of customer service and allows to organize document flow on paperless technology thanks to what the client of Nordea Bank has an opportunity quickly to trace account statements and to conduct settlings with Bank and partners, without leaving a workplace, or far off from every spot on the globe where there is an Internet access.

The technology of work with a system provides signing of the documents transferred to Bank from client name, the necessary number of the electronic digital signatures (EDS) of the persons authorized by Client. Use of the electronic digital signature which is an electronic analog of the sign manual of the authorized person Kliyenta excludes a possibility of transfer of documents by other persons on behalf of this authorized person. An important task of Bank in this case is security of secret key, an exception of a possibility of hit of this information in hands of the third parties.
