How is Java-free BankID - DinSide

ad

DinSide Bank ID Java. And Java works mainly only on PCs. In addition, it requires constant updates and amounts according to the security industry a big risk.

Already in 2006/2007 began BankID therefore to discuss secession from Java. But it was not until a half years since the actual work began on developing a Java-free BankID.

And DinSide can now finally show you how Bank ID will look like in the future.

Works everywhere

Bank ID 2.0, the solution is called, will not require JavaScript to function. The login is based on standards HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, all new browsers support.

It will first and foremost say two things for you that uses:

  • You have to have Java installed on your computer.
  • can in principle use BankID on any device that has a web browser, such as mobile and tablet devices, independent of operating systems and screen sizes.

- We wish that Java will die slowly, telling operation and Development Frode B. Nilsen Bank ID.

Reason Java wreck no one should not be based security.

BankID claim namely that Java vulnerabilities have not been used to attack their login service. While Java has created a furore perception of the Bank ID has not been safe enough, and a lot of headaches for banks’ customer service.

But it took a long time to make the decision to shed from Java. After several years of discussions began the pilot project, which took six months and it may take even longer for the solution is actually in place. This summer, the banks say how much money they are willing to spit in the project. The more money BankID get, the less time it takes. But exactly how long, will not BankID speculate in.

– Imagine 2014, says Nilsen DinSide.

What code chip?

While a Java-free BankID is something many have been waiting for, it’s something else many irritated as much over: Code tag. You’ve probably even been in the situation: You are seconds away from buying something online, but are greeted by Bank ID window, do not code chip available and the purchase goes down the drain. Just like a visit to the online banking at work can be stopped by a forgotten code chip home.

 DOOR NOT: Code pieces will still be in use. But more may soon get BankID for mobile phones. (Photo Ole Petter Stokke Baugerød)

DinSide wrote recently about bank customer Jørgen Jacobsen who switched bank to just get a simpler login to online banking via SMS, thus releasing Bank ID and code chip.

Read the story: – Bank ID is a terrible solution!

– Is it a goal for you to not only free the Norwegians from Java, but also code chip?

– It is obvious that there are many who are unhappy with a code chip, but it is not the Bank ID 2.0 is all about, says product manager Nils Inge Brurberg in BankID to DinSide.

code chip must therefore live on. At the same time BankID good news: In the course of the year will probably all Norwegian mobile operators support mobile BankID. This is a solution that lets you get even code on your phone, so you do not have to use the code tag. The reason the operator must support this and that BankID not only can send you the code in plain text, the high security requirements.

– We prefer that everyone goes over to Bank ID on mobile, smiling Nilsen .

These banks now have BankID for mobile

how it works

DinSide have access to a Bank ID 2.0 demo, which is not necessarily such a solution will look like, but gives a good picture of what we have in store.

  • Short, the “Bank ID-square” being replaced. Where before you had a Java application pops now a solution based on completely different standards, which do not require installation of additional software.
  • The box based on responsive design. It means the checking what device and monitor you use and adapt accordingly, so you get a good user experience whether you’re with a large computer monitor or a small mobile.
  •  NEW BOX: For those who are using BankID 2.0 means that logging will soon see something like it out here. matter how you use it.

    NEW BOX: For those who are using does BankID 2.0 that logging will soon see something like it out here . No matter how you use it.

  • Operating shall have nothing to say, so long as you use an updated browser. It therefore works on both Windows Phone and Android, iPad and Samsung boards.
  • log-in still consists of three steps: First, enter the number, so even code and lastly your personal password. The steps are separated by an arrow that lets you go further when you have entered the correct number of signs and signals this by changing color. The design is nice and clean, and not least: Simple.
  • You will know when you have entered something wrong, such as letters instead of numbers, in the form of short messages in text boxes.
  • As it is difficult to enter your password on the mobile than the PC, you will now have the opportunity to see the personal password you have entered for five seconds at a time.
  • The new logging can also be used inside the app, so that for example DNB can use the same login in the app its like on their website.
