CA Auth ID OTP Developer's Guide › Introduction

Introduction

To secure online transactions from Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) and other related attacks, CA Strong Authentication provides client applications that are based on CA Auth ID PKI and CA Auth ID OTP credentials. These software credentials provide two-factor authentication and are based on the patented Cryptographic Camouflage technique for securely storing keys.

You can develop your own client application by using the Software Development Kit (SDK) that is described in this guide.

CA Auth ID OTP SDK is available in Java, JavaScript, and Objective C programming languages. The SDK format for all the supported programming languages is similar. This guide explains Java SDK functions only. If you plan to use other SDKs, you can use this guide as a reference. See the sample application shipped with the client package described in this guide.

Important! This guide contains the terms Arcot, WebFort , RiskFort, WebFort, RiskMinder and AuthMinder in some of its code objects and other artifacts. The term Arcot ID is now called as CA Auth ID. In addition, some of the topics in this guide do not follow the standard formatting guidelines.
