Nomura Securities: Assurance of Online Trading Security

In order to achieve improved customer convenience and labor-saving administrative procedures, the Nomura Securities Hotto-Direct Service Department has abolished the registered seal method and adopted the VeriSign® Identity Protection (VIP) Unified Authentication (UA) One-Time Password (OTP) - a password limited to one use - as a means of personal authentication. This new method is free of charge to customers of the Hotto-Direct Department. With this change, they have achieved simple and reliable personal authentication and labor-saving administrative processing.


Quote

Having examined many companies, it was decided that this [the VeriSign proposition] was a comprehensive proposal, not just in terms of the reasonable cost, but also in terms of security.
