Cellular Authentication Token

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cellular Authentication Token was invented by Dror, Ronit & Arnnei Speiser in 2003. This is a Cellular based software that generates an Authentication code for any device that requires a PIN or Password. The CAT is used for Strong Authentication of Internet end users as they are logging to a web based service. The CAT can be found on the Internet and is free to download.

The CAT is an alternative and replacement of the old proprietary hardware tokens that generate TFA (Two Factors Authentication) OTP (One Time Password). This new technology is affordable, secured and easy to deploy.
