[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Fintech security company Aton announced on the 18th that it has signed a contract to supply private key infrastructure (PKI) and mobile OTP solutions based on software security media to NH Investment & Securities.


Aton will apply private certificates and mobile OTP solutions to NH Investment & Securities' Mobile Trading System (MTS), Home Trading System (HTS), and website (web-based) to support secure and convenient user authentication for financial transactions.


NH Investment & Securities' mobile asset management platforms QV and Namoo (NAMUH) will adopt Aton's authentication solutions to create an environment where new customers entering through MTS can use HTS and the website together without additional procedures.


NH Investment & Securities is introducing an authentication system that can provide stability and convenience in authentication methods. To this end, it adopted Aton's integrated authentication solution, recognized for its technology as a unique reference in the financial sector. NH Investment & Securities' Namoo Securities has gained popularity among the MZ generation customers with its convenient user interface (UI) and emotional design, recording 2.3 million monthly users.


NH Investment & Securities customers can electronically sign using biometric authentication or a simple PIN number, enabling easy use of various financial services such as repudiation prevention verification and abbreviated signatures. Through mobile OTP, it provides a function to automatically generate and verify OTP without separate physical security media, allowing the use of NH Investment & Securities' comprehensive financial services through a simple process.


Aton's private certificate and mobile OTP solutions provided to NH Investment & Securities apply the white-box based storage media 'mSafeBox' developed with Aton's own technology to protect key information stored on customer terminals. It features enhanced security by fundamentally preventing data leakage.


Following the market trend of strengthening non-face-to-face services, Aton provides security solutions not only to major banks such as Shinhan Bank and NH Nonghyup Bank but also to securities firms such as Korea Investment & Securities and Samsung Securities. It is leading the financial sector's security and authentication field by dominating the securities market following banks.



Jongseo Kim, CEO of Aton, said, "Aton's service is unique in that it covers securities firms' MTS and HTS, providing convenient and secure non-face-to-face securities trading services," adding, "Please look forward to Aton's expanded role through security and authentication technology not only in the financial sector but beyond."
