1.0. Getting Started
1.1. Device Description
The PINhandy Series is a family of dynamic password generators created to perform secure
authentication in various applications. It is a portable and low-cost handheld smart card device that is
capable of managing One Time Passwords, Challenge-response Authentication Codes, and
Transaction Data Signing (PKI digital signatures) based on the security keys stored in the EMV cards.
The PINhandy is compliant with major banking, computing and safety standards such as
Mastercard® Chip Authentication Program (CAP), MasterCard® Advanced Authentication for Chip
(AA4C/PLA), VISA Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA) and EMV Level 1.
The APG8202 PINhandy 2 is a compact and completely standalone OTP (One-time password)
generator that contains a keypad and a display. It uses two-factor authentication which requires the
cardholder to insert the EMV card (something you have) into the device and enter a PIN (something
you know) using the built-in pin-pad. The display screen will then let somebody see a generated
dynamic one-time password, which can be used to perform secure online transactions, telephone
orders or e-banking logons.
In addition, the APG8202 PINhandy 2 has no physical connection to a separate device like a PC.
Thus, the unconnected mode of the device makes it impossible for hackers to steal the sensitive
information stored in the card.
