Datablink Introduces a New Bitcoin Transaction Security Solution

TYSONS CORNER, VA--(Marketwired - July 24, 2017) - Datablink, a global provider of advanced authentication and transaction verification solutions, today announced its entry into digital currency protection.

Through its new Datablink Secure Transaction Solution, the company harnesses its award-winning expertise in authentication to arm digital currency wallet providers and institutions with a solution that uses Datablink's push technology to protect digital currency transactions as well as account access.

The majority of bitcoin and other digital currency transactions are initiated with a simple username and password over a single band, making them vulnerable to attack. Datablink looks to offer a simple and fast process for providers to differentiate their service by offering an easy yet powerful solution that leverages push technology to enable their customers to verify and authorize a transaction in a 2^nd out of band channel -- the same mechanism many traditional financial institutions use to protect their customers from transaction hijacking, fraud and unauthorized account access.

Datablink's Digital Currency Security Solution eases and secures the login or transaction process by providing the user with a push authorization message request via mobile phone in real time. The service can leverage the security by using the existing multisig (Multisignature) system for digital currencies. This enables Datablink to prevent:

• Fradulent transactions
• Man-in-the-Middle/Mobile attacks that hijack transactions and tamper with amounts or recipients
• Unauthorized access to wallets

"There's no reason to keep bitcoin and other digital currency transactions at risk," said Alexandre Cagnoni, CEO at Datablink. "Simple usernames and passwords, or even one-time passwords (OTP) are not enough. Datablink is pleased to provide a proven and powerful tool for providers to offer that extra peace of mind for customers that face an ever-growing number of advanced threats. The nature of digital currency usage is rooted in simplicity and empowered users -- we aim to reinforce that expectation for providers through our easy, affordable push technology that prevents unauthorized access or redirected transactions."
